Synopsis
A manual used in GCE A level, BCS part I, City and Guilds, and BTEC courses, this edition has been updated to reflect the greater emphasis placed on the development and use of computers - rather than on numerical methods - in recent examinations. Topics given greater emphasis include: methods used in systems development, computer languages, applications packages, databases and human-computer interfaces (HCIs). The text is on the official reading list of IDPM part II Programming and Operations and is featured in the "BCS Computer Booklist for Schools". A lecturer's supplement is available.
