Courteous and prompt. Tried to help me obtain the textbook. If you're already a programmer, then you can pass without the book anyway (didn't require specific projects from the book). Homework questions were through Pearson's MyProgrammingLab. Quizzes and final exam questions were also standard questions from Pearson. No tricks. Best prof. ever!
