A Data-Centric Introduction to Computing
- revskill 3y agoThe font is unreadable. Also, there's a mistake here in structuring. Who's the audience ? With beginners, you, as a mentor, should NEVER introduce too many concepts in a lecture, it's too much to the negative impact on the brain. Make things concise, one at a time. In this case, you should split this book into many mini-books, each one focus on one level of audience instead. Beginners in any fields would appreciate you if you can just bring smallest enough concepts to master for them to self-learn through your exceises instead.

FTA: 1.7 Organization of the Material Because this book covers what would be considered multiple semesters worth of material at the tertiary level in the USA, we have divided it into seven main booklets. Later booklets depend on some earlier ones, but the earlier ones can be treated as a stand-alone book that arrives at a satisfying ending for a student or course that does not proceed further.

- mikebrave 3y agoI have to agree somewhat about the font choice, this particular one is good for textbook print but doesn't work well with a screen, too thin of letters is the short answer.

For anyone, like me, that had checked this book out in an earlier release and wants to know what's changed. Seems like rather substantial alterations, including more Python code to help students transition from Pyret to Python.
