Cambridge IGCSE & O Level Computer Science 2nd Edition

Build upon the fundamentals of computational thinking and programming with this series, developed to support teachers and students through the Cambridge IGCSE and O Level Computer Science syllabuses (0478/0984/2210). Bring computer science to life through real-life contexts and applications, including case studies from Microsoft Research. A three-tiered approach to programming tasks across the coursebook and programming books develops both skills and confidence for students of all levels of understanding. In response to syllabus updates our programming books now cover Java, Python and Visual Basic, offering tailored support for each of the programming languages recommended in the syllabus. Our teacher's resource now includes over 200 teaching activity ideas, teaching plans, language support, homework ideas and differentiated worksheets, giving you and your students plenty of ways to bring computer science into your world.

Develop your learners’ skills and confidence with this new programming book for Java. Created in response to the addition of Java as a programming language in the Cambridge IGCSE and O Level Computer Science syllabuses (0478/0984/2210), this resource provides tailored for support students programming with Java. A three-tiered approach to programming tasks across the book provides scaffolded support for students of all levels of understanding. Answers are accessible in the ‘Solutions’ chapter in the digital part of the resource, enabling students to practice their programming skills in-class or at home.
