A Code Wizard’s First Spell Book, Practical Computer Science and Programming with Go as a First Language

This is really the only book I deeply want to write. All the others are covered more or less, including becoming a terminal native. So many people just don’t have an early opportunity to learn to code in a language that actually matters and has massive longevity. It is time for Java as a dominant language in the AP Computer Science classroom to die. My goal is to create an approachable textbook—freely available without the book—that will become the basis of a new AP Computer Science curriculum designed for the statically-compiled, post-OOP world.

And, instead of teaching game development over the Christmas break, I’ve decided to work on this book and video series instead possibly with a Udemy version as well.
