    This document provides an overview of the A Level Computer Science course at TRC. In the first term, students will learn the three programming constructs and use C# to apply them. They will also learn about data representation, starting with binary arithmetic and representing images and sound, then moving to compression and encryption. While no prior knowledge of computer science is required, any experience with programming or having taken GCSE Computer Science would be advantageous. The document provides links to online resources for students to explore topics that will be covered in the first term.
