@advanced-ict.infoAlthough you can see the values being searched in GCSE binary search questions, I just had the idea that it would make a better screen-based activity if you can't see them - what do you think? #TeamCompSci

@advanced-ict.infoRevision of algorithms today. I like this, which was an AQA GCSE programming task but you can also do it with cards. Is it searching or is it sorting? They really come as a pair to help you find things. #TeamCompSci

@craigndave.bsky.social💾 ROM = Read-Only Memory… except you can write to it. 🤔
From PROM & EPROM to EEPROM & flash memory, ROM has evolved quite a bit!
So why is it still called ROM? Find out 👇
@advanced-ict.infoI've been switching an Access database to MySQL and have found some interesting differences in the SQL, e.g. MySQL will let you ORDER using an alias created with AS (whereas Access won't), but you can't use HAVING on a field that you haven't SELECTed (whereas in Access you can). #TeamCompSci
@advanced-ict.infoPresumably we won't be getting this imminently, but it shows that it's possible. #TeamCompSci
