Code Banks for GCSE Computer Science (Python3 / VB.NET)
This resource has been written to provide a base of the core tools for GCSE, which can be used off-line for students to reference whilst completing the NEA tasks.Author
Comprehensive, fully annotated code banks provide students with an accessible quick-reference and a wealth of code to adapt for their own programs.
Produced by a senior examiner, the skills covered, code explanations and examples of use are all pitched perfectly for GCSE.
- Covers all the essential programming tools that students need!
- For each tool: the purpose, syntax and varied examples with line-by-line commentary!
- Range of formats included for flexible use!
- A4 handouts
- HTML webpage
- py3/.txt files
- Aids students’ programming work in class and at home!
Really good use of different examples of string manipulation, Length, Substring, Case, Concatenation, Split, Find, Type Check, ASCII - this is a phenomenal level of examples

I really like that the students are able to see both by running in IDLE or any IDE some example code. This can be used for so many different purposes and this is excellent for both Teachers and Students ... really good used of python and makes it really clear to read and easy to understand what the code is about. The use of comments is excellent ... this resource meets all specifications regardless of the exam board. This is an excellent generic resource which allows any teacher to learn and upskill, it is great for non specialists to learn python and it is a great for students learning and student revision ... Selection - this is excellent and great step by step buildup ... Relational Operators - really good level of examples of them all ...
