ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS[](http://csfieldguide.org.nz/appendices/Contributors.html#acknowledgements "Permalink to this headline") This project has grown out of a partnership for an international field guide to computing. In the CSSE department, it grew from the CS Unplugged project (csunplugged.org) and the CS resource guides (nzacditt.org.nz/resources). At the at Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, it grew from a project called “Field Guide to the Science of Computing” (csfieldguide.org) and the Great Principles of Computing project (greatprinciples.org), both led by Peter Denning. Funding for this online textbook has been provided by Google Inc. In addition, countless hours of volunteer time have been contributed by those listed above. Tim Bell prepared an initial draft of this material while visiting Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, whom we thank for providing an excellent environment for writing. The project is based at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand; other authors are at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and Cambridge University, UK. Partial funding for the US field guide project was provided by the US National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0938809.
