A conversation with David Kopec, Assistant Professor at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. David is a passionate computer science educator and writer. His latest book "Classic Computer Science Problems in Java" was just published recently. We're talking about teaching and learning programming, Swift, Dart, Python and Java, OOP and strong typing, as well as Dave's experience writing books with an established publisher as opposed to self-publishing.
