<br>
<br>
Thanks to those who replied to my earlier email (even though I forgot to enter a subject).<br>
<br>
Over the past few years in Software Development I have taught VIsual Basic and C#, have taught some Javascript to a Year 10 class, and have used for PHP (and mySQL) for my own programming. My students have said that they would like to learn Javascript. I was
wanting to know if Javascript is suitable for the new Software Development study design as I don't want to teach it in Units 1 and 2 and then find that it is not satisfactory for Units 3 and 4. Would I be better going back to C# or PHP?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
I am not teaching Software Development this year but am thinking about what language to teach in Unit 2 Computing. Would Javascript be suitable? What languages are people using in Units 3 and 4?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
