Change behavior of the Book icon... #33

Relabel it to "Resources" and make it point to a new page. In that page we can put links to "resources" for the course... that would include a link to the Book and other resources that might be Python specific or might be course specific... we can decide how to populate this page later.

I disagree. The "book" link at present is an off-site link that is associated with a specific course in a specific semester, rather than being Pythy-oriented. Different instructors might use different books (or other resources), depending on their teaching style. Whether it is an on-line Python book, a media computation book, or one instructor's personal teaching notes. My feeling after reflecting on this issue is that these resources belong in a course management system, where they are properly associated with a course and managed by the instructor, rather than being hard-coded into Pythy's navigation structure (or delegated to a separate page on Pythy).

I don't think there's much benefit to trying to incorporate additional course management content to Pythy. We've already got too much to deal with in terms of doing a good job with code assignments.

My vote would be for removing the "book" menu entry entirely, and forget about adding a separate resources page.

That sounds even better... agreed.

Book was removed from the navbar.
