    Hal Abelson's foreword is worth reading, if just for the footnote (about the AP CS exam that used to be based on Pascal):

       [1] Since Hal wrote this Foreword, they've switched the 
   AP exam to use Java, but the principle is the same.

    This is good, but I'd also add in algorithms, data structures, and basic complexity.
