Review :
The latest book by Jane Paterson and John Walsh for Higher Computing Science is a great book...I have referred to the book in preparation for the Highers...I feel that the book puts a spotlight on key areas. I still teach Visual Studio but the move to Python is prepared for in the book. Well done.
