The state of Computing in England

"In short, one has the very strong impression that this qualification [Computer Science] is highly elitist. In an era when organisations are falling over themselves to promote diversity, sometimes even seeming to forget what their reason for existing is, it is at the very least morally questionable to promote such a qualification."

I have not included any qualifications that are going to be examined for the last time this year. You can download it from the subscribers’ only page."

Slim, striking and silent (but enough about me), the Latitude certainly makes the grade as far as aesthetics are concerned. But how does it actually perform?
