• Why CPSC 210 Exists makes the case for a software construction course centred on code fluency, even when generative AI models can write code.
• GenAI and You explains the course's generative AI policy (not allowed on in-class exercises or exams, allowed but discouraged on labs, allowed on the project) and the research behind it.
• Prerequisite Knowledge reviews the CPSC 110 and CPSC 121 ideas the textbook builds on, and where each one reappears.
• Uncovered Language Features describes the parts of TypeScript this course deliberately leaves out, and the reasoning behind each, so you can recognise them in code you did not write.
• Glossary collects the terms defined in bold throughout the textbook, each linked back to the section that introduces it.
