About the Book

The book is organised according to the six mandatory units: Unit 1 Language and Communications; Unit 2 Computer Systems; Unit 3 Business Information Systems; Unit 4 Introduction to Software Development; Unit 5 Communications Technology; Unit 6 Systems Analysis and Design. Unit 1, Language and Communication Skills, contains chapters on written and graphical communication, oral communication and study skills. Unit 2, Computer Systems, is treated in depth with chapters on hardware, software, and PC assembly and upgrade. In addition, the chapter on assembly language programming is illustrated by means of a simple hypothetical microprocessor and assembler for which you can download free software and supporting documentation from our web site at www.bcpublications.co.uk. Unit 3, Business Information Systems provides in-depth coverage of organisations, business applications, data processing, health and safety and privacy and copyright issues. Unit 4, Introduction to Software Development, includes tutorials on both Pascal and Visual Basic. Unit 5, Communications Technology, covers data communications, networks and the Internet. Finally, the chapters on Systems Analysis and Design in Unit 6 provide clear illustrated guidance in the use of a standard structured methodology, and a complete design tutorial for a business application. There are self-test questions after every chapter to emphasise important concepts, and at the end of each of the six units there are additional assignments to help to consolidate the subject matter and to contribute to assessment requirements. Though written specifically for Edexcel's IT Practitioners awards, this text could also be used for a wide range of other ICT courses.
