Everything is due (final, hard deadline, no exceptions) by August 4.

You can use these Readings to learn the material. You can also use Self-Testing to make sure you’re learning properly.

Readings

Most of the reading is from How to Design Programs, second edition.

We want you to read

  • the Prologue

  • Part I, Ch. 5 through 5.6

  • Part II, Ch. 8, 9 through 9.1

  • Part II, Ch. 10 through 10.1

  • Part III

These roughly correspond to the first four parts of placement, so you can read each part over a different week.

You will also have to read from A Data-Centric Introduction to Programming:

  • Section 3, Basic Data

  • Section 5, Lists

This corresponds to the fifth part of placement.

Self-Testing

The first edition has older prose and some different material, but also has many similarities. A relevant, major difference is that it also has solutions to several problems. You are welcome to compare your solutions against those linked to the book.
