<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Well, I think the reality is, that the network will be managed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>by experts, and he software will be written by experts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>There may be some interaction between the groups. We had regular</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>meetings between the expert groups to discuss areas in common.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most software developers will not get within a bulls roar of gaming</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>software. In the end, some of your argument has validity sometimes,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>but at year 12 we are not getting them ready immediately for work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>We should aim to teach them as much about developing software as</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>possible, since that is what he course is about. Even the SDLC has been</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>perverted to cater for networking and the first sac. None of my uni</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>SDLC books are structured the way we teach it. It has been modified</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>for sac 1 and the design phase is called the physical design. That's my</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>view anyway. To drive the point home, I had students this year doing the Cisco </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>course, and they were often asking the question of the SD course, what has </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>this to do with </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>software development? Instead of building link lists and such,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>they were designing networks.</FONT></DIV>
