This book provides an approach to the understanding of Computer Science to the level required for GCE Advanced. The new edition has greater emphasis on computing driven by end-users, mostly involving networked PC's running standard packaged software, and there is new material on the Internet and RAD. Student self-test questions and longer examination type questions are featured, and there are end-of-chapter glossary checklists and points to note.
