to the Software Development VCE. I’ve used VB4, VB6 and VB.Net in our Yr11&
12 course. I’ve changed over to Python since it demonstrates the use of
OOP much easier than VB.NET. It allows me to teach procedural, OO and
functional paradigms using the one environment. There are several texts that
teach the course outcomes along with the syntax of Python.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

An introduction to computer science’ John Zelle ISBN 1-887902-99-6. The
text starts immediately with a functional approach and then introduces the basics
of OOP using a GUI environment. My students have scored well over the last two
HSC exams but only marginally better than the VB.NET students of past years.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
