About this title

Review

Mr. John Knight. March 2003 Informative and easy to read with a good collection of examples. I have always found your textbooks to be exceptionally well laid out and clear 12 June, 2002 Reviewer: Ms Jenny Rudge. Head of Department. North Devon College, England I have been using your textbooks ever since we introduced Computing and ICT subjects in the mid 1990s. I have always found your textbooks to be exceptionally well laid out and clear for students and have used them both as a student of A level computing and as a lecturer of A level ICT. Roger Taylor, PGCE IT Coordinator, Brunel University "An excellent, clearly written, comprehensive 'A' Level text, also useful for GNVQ and undergraduate IT." IMIS Review, December 1998 "The book is logical in its approach, is clear, concise and offers great examples and lots of diagrams ... suitable for teaching staff, parents and candidates for examination. An excellent and comprehensive text." An essential text for A level ICT students, 29 October, 2001 Reviewer: A Reader from England P.M. Heathcote's 'A' Level ICT is an essential text for 'A' Level ICT students. The author's systematic approach and detailed knowledge of the exam boards' requirements ensure that all relevant topics have been covered. An important thing to note is that this is not a book on Computer Science - so do not expect too much on the more detailed technical subjects such as Boolean Algebra and Programming techniques. Never the less. the book is an excellent buy. Splendid Resource for the A Level IT Student, 8 October, 2000 Reviewer: Addil Ghafar from Swindon, Wiltshire, UK I got this book from my IT teacher in great optimism. It was all jargon at the beginnings of the 'A' Level Course. However, this book is set on the AQA Syllabus which our college is following so this book turns out to be a present from heaven. It is very useful as everything in the 'A' Level AQA syllabub is in the context of the book in easy to read English and easy to follow steps. Its extremely useful for the 'A' Level IT student, like me. Even for the most most speculative, this book helps out indeed.
