Investigative journalist Karen Stabiner spent pivotal years with the young women of two very different girls' schools: Marlborough, an elite prep school in Los Angeles, and The Young Women's Leadership School in East Harlem, an experimental public school.

They make no claims to teach C in only one day; they actually expect readers to have a basic grasp on various programming concepts. You see the character from another perspective. But the more expanded version ought to be more useful to freshman composition students. But the time came when I had no choice.
