By 1 week before orientation, you should have received (generally in Slack) links to the pre-purchased Kindle versions of your textbooks. As of cohort 12, we use these 3 textbooks in the bootcamp:
-
H. Schildt, Java: A Beginner’s Guide (9th ed.)
-
N. Smyth, Android Studio Arctic Fox Development Essentials—Java Edition
-
J. Bloch, Effective Java (3rd ed.)
After receiving the textbook links, please click on them and follow the prompts to accept the textbooks and deliver them immediately to your preferred devices. (After you’ve accepted the textbooks into your Amazon account, you can also download them at any time to any device running the Kindle software.)
Important:
-
If you have not received your textbook links by the day before orientation, please contact Nick Bennett or Kristen Nguyen immediately.
-
You do not need a Kindle device to read Kindle textbooks. In addition to Amazon Kindle dedicated e-readers and Amazon Fire tablets (which have the Kindle software pre-installed), you have these options:
-
Kindle Cloud Reader (This is accessible from any current browser on virtually any device. It is also arguably the best option for Ubuntu.)
-
