[Year 12 SofDev] [Year 12 IT Apps] 2016 textbooks for the computing?

[Andrew Shortell]

given the size of the groups in the state we are doing well to get text books - there is very little profit in a market this small

Perhaps in future we should amalgamate our education system with NSW (doubles the cohort), add in the rest of Australia (which is about = NSW)
then add in NZ (which would also bring in the pacific islands) (about = Vic)

then we would have about 4 times as many students - MAYBE then we would get two texts per subject if we were lucky

Back in the old days (circa 2001) there were nearly as many students in IT as there were in Further Mathematics

Like many of you we are starting to explore booklists for next year and this information would be valuable. Details like who is writing, preview chapters, expected availability time, print or digital would be most appreciated.
