GCSE Computer Science - Theory and Practice N Harman

This book is a complete textbook for computer science for secondary school students. It provides comprehensive coverage of the Edexcel GCSE Computer Science Specification for first examination in 2018. There are 30 chapters divided into 8 sections with over 100 questions and exercises to test your knowledge and understanding. Although there is a lot of programming included, this is a textbook not a practical course in programming. Computational Thinking via Abstraction and Algorithms is stressed wherever applicable. There are full Pseudocode and Flowcharts for all major algorithms with implementation in Python. There is a complete worked example from beginning to end, of a short computer-programming project, implemented in Python. This is based on the specification for the "Non-Exam Assessment" (NEA). In short, this book should provide everything you need for success in Computer Science at this level. (Note: By choosing some of the "extensions" and with a careful study of the appropriate specifications, this book could be used for the Edexcel 2015, OCR 2018 and AQA 2018)
