Computer Science Project Work: Principles and Pragmatics

Rating:
Summary: If you teach computer science, get this book
Review: "Computer Science Project Work: Principles and Pragmatics" has the three hallmarks of a classic: it is passionate, well-researched, and well-written. It is passionate about educating new software developers, designers, and analysts wisely and humanely. It is full of real information--the authors collected data on hundreds of real group projects and pedagogical best practices. It is written without ostentation or obfuscation--it is as clear as water. I wish I'd had this book from the beginning of my teaching career.
