• The C Programming Language—Kernighan & Ritchie
• Pascal User Manual and Report—Jensen & Wirth
• Pharo by Example—Ducasse
• The Scheme
Programming Language—Dybvig
• ML for the Working Programmer—Paulson
• OCaml Programming: Correct + Efficient + Beautiful—Clarkson et al.
• Programming in Haskell, Hutton
These textbooks have a few things in common:
• They are all stylish
• They are all succinct
• They are all comprehensive
• They are all balanced as to theory and practice
• They are all written by #CS professors

Speculates on e-books, #audiobooks and #textbooks being augmented with #AI that enables them to predict user behavior and customise content in real-time according to the preferences and reactions of individual readers.
So the future here lies with more or less conventional #books being augmented and extended with AI - rather than any move to a post-Gutenberg, post-alphabetic, post-book world, as it were.

We worked consistently on them until 2014, and have used them as class resources ever since. They basically work as an intro textbook, at least as well as any intro text on the actual textbook market.
But we never did anything real with them. ...

I agree that a ugly “fever” of #hate runs thru too many #school boards.
I find it ridiculous that parents…w/no training or #education
Amateurs…are fiddling around education!
The utter foolishness, of letting untrained, clueless, #political fanatics…
Control the #academic curricula.

"[T]he governors of nine states and one U.S. territory signed a letter to textbook publishers last month, saying they were 'deeply troubled' by reports of some publishers 'yielding to the unreasonable demands of certain government representatives calling for the censorship of school educational materials.'"

NCERT textbooks: Why some Indian scholars are disowning books they wrote
The academics said they objected to the "innumerable and irrational cuts and large deletions" as they failed to see "any pedagogic rationale" behind the changes.
