Cambridge International AS and A Level Computer Science Coursebook

I, like many teachers, have been waiting for a book to accompany the new CIE Computer Science course. For the most part, this book is useful and informative; however, the publishers clearly did not wish to support separate AS and A2 publications, that or the author was given a too tight deadline. As a result, too many sections are lacking in critical detail.I have gone through a number of recent exam papers, checking the quality of the book with these papers and too many times it falls short of detail, or no coverage at all. I hold that no student could use this book alone to achieve a high grade in the course. A good teacher will supplement this book with additional material of their own to give students the most realistic chance of high achievement.

A really good book which covers all the topics in the syllabus. The only drawback is that the language used by the authors is a little tough to understand. Otherwise, the condition of the book was excellent.

The book and the contents of it seem to be good but the cover was chipped, probably due to bad shipping

Useful book

A lot of the content is good but many explanations seem rushed and fail to define technical terms before using them. There are also quite a few mistakes in the source code.
