7 books for teachers of computing and ICT

July 25, 2016

Here are 7 book reviews, inspired by "micro" flash fiction. Flash fiction is the term used for very short stories, typically under 1,000 words. There is a sub-branch of flash fiction called nano fiction: stories that are no more than 55 words in length, and another type of story that consists of only 6 words. I've decided to call that "micro" fiction.

So these reviews are just 6 words long.
