How to obtain books for class

We will use the three books list on the course website:

The Mythical Man-Month by Frederick Brooks Jr. Code Complete by Steve McConnell Head First Software Development by Dan Pilone and Russ Miles

Ask a friend

Did you have a friend that took this class last semester? Are they willing to loan you their book, or to sell it to you at a discount price?

Bookstore / Amazon: physical copy ($)

For those that prefer a physical copy - consider buying used. See the Wilson Bookstore or Amazon

O’Reilly Safari Learning Platform (formerly Safari Tech Books): digital 2nd edition (free)

So, if you want to access these books on the internet via O’Reilly Safari Learning Platform.

1. Go to The College of Wooster Science and Technology eBooks: https://libguides.wooster.edu/c.php?g=123919&p=811186

2. Click the link where it says “O’Reilly Safari Learning Platform (formerly Safari Tech Books)”.
   

3. In the search bar at the top, type in the title of the book you wish to access and press enter.

4. Many titles will appear on this website.

5. Open the book using the big red “continue” button.

6. The navigation is a little weird. Make sure you use the arrows on the top left/right in order to move to the previous/next chapter.
