More about this Textbook¶
This book is one of many adapted versions of the open-source textbook called How to Think Like A Computer Scientist: Learning with Python, which is used in many universities around the world.
Runestone is a platform for hosting interactive electronic textbooks. The folks at Runestone created ThinkCsPy, an interactive version of the original book.
LaunchCode, a non-profit in St Louis, customized Runestone’s ThinkCsPy.
Devetry made some additional customizations, resulting in the book you are reading!
