As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
Firstly, I have to admit I completely forgot to post yesterday for some reason even though I had all my posts for this weekend ready. To make up for it I'll post yesterday's missed post on Monday so keep an eye out for that. Anyway, down to today's post.
Version 5.0 of this resource is finally here and it is a big step up from the last one. I've reverted back to the old PDF format for this resource and it's 30 pages long (that's 10 more than version 3.0). It's mainly down to the fact that I've added more definitions and more detail to each definition. There's 267 definitions now (30 more than version 4.0) and I honestly can't see myself making a version 6.0.
Anyway, for tomorrow's resource is going to be something similar to this and it's something that I wanted to make for a long time. Hopefully, I won't "forget" to post tomorrow InShaAllah.

Hope this helps!

The Most Detailed Yet Concise Summary Of OCR A Level Computer Science: Component 3
As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
The final summary presentation of the 21 in this series is on the programming project. This is actually the first resource I've made mapping to this component of the spec and i'm fairly pleased with the result. Anyway, it's been a really long series that started way back but i'm glad that it's finally completed.

The Most Detailed Yet Concise Summary Of OCR A Level Computer Science: 2.3
As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
The penultimate and longest summary presentations is on the last section of the exam part of the spec. It's 35 slides and has all the theory and actual algorithms you need to know for this topic. As always, the slides with "A level only" content are highlighted with a red border.

The Most Detailed Yet Concise Summary Of OCR A Level Computer Science: 2.2.1
As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
Summary presentation # 18 is finally here after I skipped it last week. I've also finally finished this series so I'm just going to post 2.3 and the programming project ones tomorrow and the day after InShaAllah.
I've also completed version 5.0 of the ultimate dictionary and made a new resource similar to it which I'll share next week InShaAllah. Anyway, that's all for now.

The Inspiration Behind My Resources: (Almost) Everything You Need To Know For OCR A Level Computer Science
As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
I didn't get to finish my summary presentation for section 2.2.1 so as promised, today i'm going to talk about what inspired me to make my revision guide.
Firstly, there was a huge gap in the market for A level Computer Science revision guides in my opinion. Most resources were just textbooks which as you know, are full of a LOT of unnecessary stuff. Revision guides are there to cut down on the waffle and deliver the main goods i.e. give the relevant subject content in the most concise way.
Version 1.0 of my revision guide, although not covering the entire OCR spec yet, is only 30 pages. I plan to release version 2.0 this year InShaAllah which will cover the entire spec and still take less than 50 pages to do so.
Anyway what actually inspired me was an AS revision guide made by ZigZag Education which I reviewed to be very good in my list of top 10 resources. Despite having a few faults, it was clear and concise and gave the content in a minimal yet comprehensive way.
I didn't like some aspects so I decided to make my revision guide a bit different but what really inspired me was it's unique layout which you can see is used in my own revision guide here as well.
Hope this helps!

The Most Detailed Yet Concise Summary Of OCR A Level Computer Science: 2.2.2
As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
Well, it's been a while since I made one of these, but summary presentation # 18 or 19 should I say (since I skipped section 2.2.1 for now) is finally here. I actually wanted to combine the two and make the summary presentation for the entire section 2.2 but then realised this part of the spec is so vague that it's near impossible to make a decent resource for it.
Regardless, I somehow managed to make it so here it is. Hopefully, I'll have 2.2.1 done tomorrow InShaAllah.

The First Post Of 2018...
As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
I was debating with myself all day what should today's post be about. Initially, I was going to release another summary presentation and then decided to do a post about my inspiration for my revision guide and THEN finally decided that this post should really about outlining my goals for this year. I'm just going to give out what I plan to do this year InShaAllah as a good old list:

I'm just going to give out what I plan to do this year InShaAllah as a good old list:
- For the nth time, FINISH MY SUMMARY PRESENTATION SERIES!!!
- Finish version 5.0 of the Ultimate OCR A level Computer Science Dictionary
- Release version 2.0 of my revision guide
- Start a new revision poster series (more on that soon InShaAllah)
- Write a textbook (yep, you read that correctly)
- Begin making GCSE Computer Science resources
That's all that I can think of off the top of my head right now and I don't want to reveal too much as this stage so anyways.
Hope this helps!
