summary: "The first chapter of the book 'Computing in Physics Education' is now available online. This chapter introduces the key themes and objectives of the book, setting the stage for the contributions from various educators."
I've just posted the first chapter of our book, ["Computing in Physics Education"](/iop-book/), which is going through the editorial process at the [Institute of Physics Publishing](https://ioppublishing.org/). This chapter serves as an introduction to the book, outlining its key themes and objectives.

IOP agreed to let me post the first chapter online, so you can get a sneak peek at what the book is all about. The chapter discusses the importance of integrating computing into physics education and sets the stage for the contributions from various educators that will follow in subsequent chapters.
