Declined proposed deletion. My reasoning then, as now, was "Seemingly unnotable book; I can't find anything that suggests it gets over the bars of WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG". Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 19:26, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I teach the Programming Languages course at Vassar College, and have been preparing to use this text when we offer the course again next year. (Marc Smith)
  • List of URLs: Since places that use the book to teach seem like an important point in this argument, here is a list of links that I have found. It is of course not complete in any real way -- I personally know about a few places that are not on here since they don't have public course pages, and about some places that have taught using the book in the past but do not keep older course pages. BTW, there is also a list of places that have used the course in the Open Textbook Library.
