Overview

This digital student book offers comprehensive coverage of the Cambridge Advanced National in Computing: Application Development Unit F164: Website development. Mapped to the OCR specification, this book has been designed to help students and teachers build the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the new qualification. Ideal as both a learning and reference tool, it is structured to follow the order of the specification and unpack its content in an easy-to-follow, digestible way. It will help students learn key concepts and information, while providing teachers with guidance on the breadth and depth of content they're required to teach. Written by Jennie Eyres and David Corbett, experienced teachers and practitioners, this book will help students understand different types of websites, along with their principles and components. It will explore: design considerations while planning, developing, testing and reviewing website prototypes; how websites today are well-established as a mass communication tool, enabling any organisation; and key techniques for designing a modern website, including search engine optimisation (SEO) and compliance with accessibility requirements. This book is written to be engaging and motivating. “Learning in Context” examples help students relate the concepts they are learning to the real world, and worked examples guide their development of essential skills, step-by-step. Furthermore, frequent quick-check questions help them to assess their progress and understanding of each topic. The flexible digital format means content can be accessed anywhere, at anytime. We are working towards endorsement by OCR.
