About IB Computing Net
A site for all teachers and students of IB Computer Science. It includes notes on nearly all of the Subject Guide topics, notes on Java programming with GUI's using BlueJ, resources (such as worksheets, recommendations for IDE's and books) and online courses and workshops (some free, others not).
For those who are not familiar with the IB Computer Science programme, it is approximately equivalent to a first-year degree (bachelor's) course in the UK or US.
