The recently purchased ‘Tackling OCR A Level Projects in Computer Science’ book is terrific!

The books are very user friendly. I love the clear layout, colours, fun illustrations and infographics throughout these resources. The way each section is broken-down clearly into individual units is a great help to both me and my students when referring to particular areas in the specification. The introduction to the designers in GCSE spec is fab and provides a brief insight into each allowing the students to understand what sort of work each designer produces.
