well seeing as the syllabus requires theory work as well as at least 25% practical work...

I'd say a bit of both is good, programming helps you to understand the concepts, and the textbook addresses the syllabus points that you need to know, which will not be all learnt from just programming (e.g. evolution of programming laguages). Also, as Raymes said, practical work is required of the syllabus.

Hm..

I've found the best way to absorb the knowledge is through both our major projects (having to do all the accursed documentation) as well as going through the actual syllabus, and making my notes against the data in the "Students Learn about..." column.

As well as the textbook, although I don't particularly like our one, the Heinemann edition

Unfortunately, this subject is called Software Design and Development. With development being the minority of the subject.

then you will be good at pseudocode algorithms - the failure of many students.
