Allen B. Downey, professor of Computer Science at Wellesley College, originally wrote "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" in Java, as a textbook for his computer science class.  It was intended to cover all of the material on the AP Computer Science exam (which is currently in Java).  Over the summer of 1998, Professor Downey converted the Java version of "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" into C++. Since then several chapters have been added.  This version has been modified for use at Northumberland Christian School.
