Mātanga

  • Te Taka Keegan
    Nō Waikato-Maniapoto, nō Ngāti Porou, nō Ngāti Whakaue hoki.
    Kei Ngāhinapōuri e noho ana, kei te pūtake o te maunga o Pirongia.

    Kua roa ia e mahi ana ki te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, me tana aro ki te whai huarahi mō te reo rangatira ki te ao hangarau.

This project has grown out of a partnership for an international field guide to computing. In the University of Canterbury CSSE department, it grew from the Computer Science Unplugged project and the New Zealand Computer Science resource guides. At the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, it grew from a project called A Field Guide to the Science of Computation and the Great Principles of Computing project, both led by Peter Denning.

Funding for this online textbook has been provided by our sponsors listed at the end of this page. 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.
