Resumen del Recurso

Higher Computing Science
  1. Languages and environments
    1. Low-Level
      1. Corresponds directly to a processor's instruction set
      2. High-Level
        1. Written in English
        2. Procedural
          1. Uses procedures, functions or sub-routines.
            1. Visual Basic
            2. Declarative
              1. Uses facts, rules and queries to interrogate the knowledge base
                1. {"item": "bread", "type": "wheat"}
                2. Object-Orientated
                  1. Uses classes
                3. Parameters
                    1. Formal - this refers to the variable name used within the subroutine to hold the data passed into it, for example, age.
                      1. Actual - this refers to the actual data that is passed into the subroutine, for example, 45.
                        1. Global - these variables can be used throughout a program at any point in the code
                          1. Local - the values stored in these variables exist within only one part of the code, usually within a subroutine
                        2. Methods of Testing
                          1. Dry Run - reading the code and predicting what will happen without actually running the code.
                            1. Trace Table - lists the variables in a program and tracks the values they store as the code is executed store as the code is executed.
                              1. Test Plan
                                1. Normal, Extreme, Exceptional
                                2. Beta Testing - final stage of testing involving community
                                3. Software Development Methodologies
                                  1. Rapid Application Development
                                    1. Involves building prototypes of parts of the software
                                      1. Easier to test
                                        1. Feedback early on
                                      2. Agile Methodologies
                                        1. Lack of emphasis on design and documentation
                                      3. Legal Implications
                                        1. Computer Misuse Act
                                          1. Unauthorised access of a computer
                                            1. Unauthorised access of a computer to commit further criminal offences
                                              1. Unauthorised altering of computer data
                                              2. Copyright, Designs and Patents Act
                                                1. Protect time, money and effort invested by content creators.
                                                2. The Communications ACt
                                                  1. Use other people's Wi-Fi broadband connections without permission

                                                      1. Unauthorised interception of communications (e.g. phone hacking)
                                                      2. Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA)
                                                        1. Certain organisations can intercept data, access password protected data and carry out surveillance for the purposes of crime prevention.
