My final year project consisted of an ORACLE SQL-forms designed GUI interface running under an MS-DOS operating system.

The student data was held in an ORACLE SQL database set-up on a PC local to the application.

2 ‘A’ Levels – Computer Science and Biology
My ‘A’ Level Computing Project was developed on a Amstrad PC 1512 and was written in Turbo Pascal. The software provided a means for a local town newspaper to store, track and calculate the money payable to delivery staff based on paper round metrics. These metrics related to size of round, papers delivered and any leaflets attached to a delivery for that week. mark whitfield
My ‘O’ Level Computing Project was developed on a LINK 480Z Research Machine and was written in Extended BASIC. Three submissions were required with appropriate design and testing. The excerpts here show details of a BASIC program for storing and displaying student exam results. mark whitfield
