If your friend has free time, he may also enjoy _Code_ by Charles Petzold. It's a layman-oriented explanation of how computers work.
Is he in state or federal prison? Are there no classes available that could give him access to a computer?
- givinguflac 10y agoThanks for the book suggestion! He is in state prison, and there are some courses but nothing to do with programming. To make matters worse, due to having any form of external support structure, he is categorized as a "low risk" of recidivism, and high risk people are given preferential treatment toward enrolling in classes. I don't disagree with this in theory. But unfortunately due to overcrowding, this means that ONLY high risk people are getting to do classes, so he's on his own. Thanks for the response!
- x0x0 10y agoIs there any chance you could just pay for him to take the classes? Or find prison correspondence courses ala https://www.ohio.edu/ecampus/print/correctional/ https://www.ohio.edu/ecampus/print/correctional/ or https://www.adams.edu/extended_studies/undergrad/prisoncollegeprogram.php https://www.adams.edu/extended_studies/undergrad/prisoncolle...
