Blackford and Leadbetter - OCR A2 Level Computing
The A2 course follows the same format as the AS course. It's longer because there's more material to get through. Again the text is an essential guide to what needs to be covered and in what depth, particularly as the OCR specification is very different from the other boards at A2. (Purchase details as AS. Cost £80, or £70 if you also purchase the AS text).

Ray Bradley - New Understanding Computer Science for A Level
Overall this is probably the best A level Computer Science text book. It covers all the material for 2509 in depth. It also covers much of 2511 although you'll have to look around for it. I don't recommend it at the start of the AS year, but it's well worth having at A2, particularly if you're thinking of reading Computing at University. Recommended by OCR for 2509 and 2511.

Pat Heathcote - A Level Computing -
If you already have this book, you probably either love it or hate it. In my view it's the best introduction to the A level course. It's clearly written with lots of good practice questions. Unfortunately it isn't written specifically for the OCR course, so topics are not in the right order, and you'll need to pick out the bits which are relevant. If you're looking for a high grade at A2, you'll need another book as well.

Rick Van der Lans - Introduction to SQL (3rd Edition)
This book has been around for a while and is an old favourite of mine. SQL is the language of relational databases. It's used by Access, Oracle, MySQL, Informix, DB2 and many others. This book is a marvellously clear introduction to SQL. It isn't written for any particular database, but will give you an understanding of what is going on behind the scenes in Access and other databases. An understanding of SQL is also invaluable for learning database design.

David Cooper - Computer Studies for A Level
New in August 2003 :
This very detailed and comprehensive 325 page A4-sized Computing course textbook is designed for all exam boards including OCR. It covers key computing concepts at both AS and A2 levels and includes many useful background reading topics. It assumes no knowledge at the start of the course and builds up pupils' knowledge, skills and confidence in stages. Apart from the detailed notes on topics that pupils will meet in their exams, pupils are also encouraged in the textbook to read widely and develop self-support and self-reliance skills through Internet links, background reading and activities.
We'd welcome feedback from users of this new book.
