Reviews
I have found this text book extremely useful in the delivery of the OCR A Level CS. Students find it easy to access and the information found within is clear and coherent. There are a few errors in the version I purchased so downloading the errata is a must. Overall pleased with this text book. -- Mr Peter Fox - The Kings Academy
