Create your own customized textbook for introductory computing, introduction to programming, data structures, and computer ethics using this exciting new custom publishing program.
As of September 2008, you can select just the chapters you need, in the sequence you want, from 27 best-selling textbooks from Pearson Education’s Prentice Hall and Addison Wesley. Using our online book-building system, you have direct control over the content and cost of your course materials. Add chapters on programming logic, Alice or Python to help introduce your students to programming. Develop your own custom text for non-majors courses with chapters on scripting languages, Alice, Python, labs, and other topics. Incorporate coverage of computer ethics topics throughout your custom book. Remove chapters you don’t cover from your favorite Java or C++ text. Or change the sequence of the presentation of objects (early or late) to suit your teaching approach.
The choice is yours. Your book matches your course organization exactly, and your students pay only for the chapters you choose.
Program features include:
- You’re in full control of the cost. Custom CS texts are $8.00 + $.09/pg for black and white, $8.00 + $.14/pg for color.
