The standard Computing textbook for hundreds of schools and colleges has just been thoroughly updated. It takes into account the new 2008 specifications and has been improved as a result of feedback. We have included even more and better diagrams to aid understanding and improve memory recall as well as improving the content material of chapters.
This wonderfully detailed and comprehensive 363 page A4-sized Computing textbook is designed specifically to cover the material required for all A Level Computing courses in the UK; AQA (5511 and 6511), Edexcel (8106 and 9106), OCR (3820 and 7820) and WJEC (340 80 and 340 90). It is also currently being used as the class text for many other pre-university Computing and ICT qualifications. Computer Studies for A Level is a major work that will help any student get the AS and A2 grades that they really deserve and will help them lay solid foundations for their future careers. And the book opens flat, too - it's so much easier to work with in class.
This textbook covers all of the key computing concepts needed at both the AS and A2 Computing levels. It assumes no knowledge at the start of the course and builds up students' understanding, skills and confidence in closely-guided stages. Throughout each chapter, opportunities are provided for all pupils to demonstrate what they have learnt. All chapters in the third edition have been thoroughly reviewed and revised. Materials have been changed or added wherever necessary, to ensure that all of the major topics in the Exam Boards' syllabuses (both current and the 2008 specs) have been covered in detail and clearly enough for pupils to get to grips with.
If you are on any Computing AS or A2 course or any other Computing qualification, this book is invaluable. Make sure your library has copies, too! Download ordering details by clicking on a link below. There is a big discount for schools and colleges ordering now.
