Book review round-up to 22 September 2019

September 25, 2019

Here is a set of links to the educational computing books I’ve reviewed up till 22 September 2019.

Incidentally, if you’re fed up with books you have to read, and would prefer an unreadable one with lots of tables to consult instead, then check out my latest opus. It’s called Computing and related qualifications, and is intended to make it quicker and easier for the Head of Computing in English schools to find a computing qualification that would suit some or even all of their students.

Here’s the link: Computing and related qualifications

A few hundred years ago editors were more like collators. They would gather together bnits and pieces of news from various sources and writers and produce a pamphlet.

This book is very readable, and if I sound surprised that is because it’s not always true of academics!
