"It didn't take much Googling, however, to realize that full textbooks
and curricula were now available for free to cover every topic I had
in mind. The idea of Open Textbooks is a fairly new one, following in
the same vein as Open Source Software. Some of them, like Wikibooks,
are works in progress. Others are robust teaching tools, like those
found on opentextbook.org:

    * Introduction to Programming Using Java
    * How to Think Like a Computer Scientist (this comes in 4
different versions, each specific to an implementation language)"
