Sadly, it still is in many (most?) places' CS curricula.

I've worked with graduates who didn't know binary, didn't understand signed/unsigned overflow and how integers wrapped around, and perhaps even more disturbingly, had never used a command line or knew how to do a lot of other things that could be called "basic computer literacy for CS students"... because almost all they were taught were mechanised steps on how to open an IDE, write some code, and click the Build/Run buttons. I think your book would be suitable for those students.

I think for the purpose you created the book, the organisation is fine; it appears to be a collection of selected topics instead of one meant to be coherently read from start to end.
