Containing over 3,000 terms arranged by theme and defined in context, The Glossary is fully indexed and cross-referenced throughout. It supports the National Curriculum and National Qualifications Framework and is an ideal study aid and reference tool for those studying computing or taking courses where computers are used, including GCSE and A-level.
