 The company was sold to Island Graphics.
Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (also called AP CSP) is an AP Computer Science course and examination offered by the College Board to high school students as an opportunity to earn college credit for a college-level computer science course.
 AP Computer Science Principles is meant to be the equivalent of a first-semester course in computer science.
 Assessment for AP Computer Science Principles is divided into two parts, both an end of course exam as well as the creation of artifacts throughout the course.

In computer science, a dancing tree is a tree data structure similar to B+ trees.
 It was invented by Hans Reiser, for use by the Reiser4 file system.
 As opposed to self-balancing binary search trees that attempt to keep their nodes balanced at all times, dancing trees only balance their nodes when flushing data to a disk (either because of memory constraints or because a transaction has completed).

Question: Who was known for being a convicted murder and entrepreneur, but also known for inventing what's known as the dancing tree in computer science?
Answer: Hans Reiser
