Comprehensive Computing: Course Book: General Certificate of Secondary Education Course

Written for GCSE courses in computer studies, this text follows an approach which places emphasis on the applications, uses and social implications of IT. The book aims to provide a comprehensive coverage of the subject while at the same time presenting a picture of the world of computing. The practical component of the GCSE syllabus is provided for by activities in which the reader is guided, step-by-step, through a problem. Such problem-solving tasks provide the opportunity of learning through hands-on experience how computers are used outside and beyond the classroom.
