What people say...

“
”

I have a copy of the existing AS level book and I love the structure and accessibility of it – well done. 

Omar Khan. Computer Science – Subject Lead, ARK All Saints Academy

I received your sample copy today and took the opportunity to show it [to my outgoing] A2 students.

They said they liked the Layout and use of colour – compatible with the other textbooks they like, and they quickly found the Edward Snowden and NSA sections and were very engaged in the opposing arguments on each.

I liked the use of pseudo-code.

Juan Alvarez Zafra. Mathematics and Computing Department, St Brendan’s College
