Read MoreBefore you rush off on the grounds that this book has nothing to do with Computing, let me reassure you that it does.
Read MoreThe original work on which this volume is based has perhaps been honoured more in the breach than in the observance.

This book won’t necessarily help a student pass a computing exam, but it will almost certainly make them a more aware, and thus better, programmer.

I didn’t think AI's answer was good enough. I didn’t ask how ethical the proposals were. I asked it to mark an Economics essay.
Read MoreThe Department for Education in England is running a study on how AI might be used for marking work. I thought I’d test AI’s ability to mark a student’s economics essay.

FREEBIE! Having been going through my files and digitising them, I came across this little booklet I created back in 2005.
Read MoreThe way some people describe Computing makes it sound (let's be honest here) dead boring. The subject gets reduced, in effect, to 'coding'.
Read MoreThis article was originally published some time ago, when there was a previous iteration of the National Computing.
