The previous few reviews (5 as of now) I read does not do justice to this book. I suppose Singapore is a small nation so a review about this book impact is not well expounded. In this nation, Ray Bradley's text is the de facto standard textbook for students in the junior college in the year 1995-2000. It is a comprehensive book with the all-in-one knowledge prior to the dawn of the search engine. Many diverse topics are covered for coding, assembly language included, to database normalization or binary arithmetic.This means that yearly, a couple hundred of students would refer to this text for the details to prepare themselves for the nation wide university entrance exam named the A-level exam. I am sure that there are teachers who also refer to the text as a source of reference material when preparing their notes while teaching in the class. But now, in the year 2015, there is no more computer science subject in Singapore JC .

Otherwise, it is the knowledge/wisdomâ¦which is what remains after one forgotten much.
The Best A level book I have seen. Covers all of the most recent material
If you are an A level computing student, I strongly recommend you to buy this book. Most information in the book is up to date. Color printed, which can always keep you awake. Even if you feel the book not enough for you, it provides some web site for you to reinforce the book.
Quite simply, this is the best general purpose computing book I have ever read. It would say it is absolute essential for A-level students, but also has an awful lot to offer anyone else, as this will act as a superb reference book for many years to come. If you are studying computing in any form, then you are doing yourself an injustice by not owning this superb book....
Book was in excellent condition. It actually l
