What’s Next

What’s Next#

This book is a work in progress. Here’s what’s already in place and what’s still open.

Standards alignment#

Chapters 1 through 3 link every section to the AP CSP Standards Reference, showing which AP topics that chapter’s material carries. Chapters 4 through 19 still need the same treatment.

Two more alignments are planned after that AP work is finished:

  • California CS Standards — not started yet.

  • CSTA 2026 Standards — not started yet, and waiting on the standards themselves to be finalized.

Chapters#

Chapters 1 through 8 have gone through the full adaptation: exercises, removed material, blanks for live coding in class. Chapters 9 through 19 are still Downey’s original text, unedited.
