Subject: Re: AP Computer Science textbook
I have found the Litvin book to be rather uninspiring at times and
have also been leaning towards one of the Horstmann books. I'm looking
for something with better online teacher resources and support
material. However with the AB exam being phased out next year I'm
going to wait to see if the College Board revamps the A curriculum
before making any changes. Any rumours running about on what they're
going to do?
