[Year 12 Its] IT Software Development Programming languages

Thu Aug 31 13:36:52 EST 2006

Hi folks,

   Please find Paula's response to my query of using 2 programming languages for Year 12 Software Development. 
We are only allowed to use 1 language ....

Best wishes

Hi Kevork

 On page 42 of the study design under Area of study 1 it states 'Students continue to use the
programming language studied in Unit 3.' I suppose that pretty well sums
it up that it needs to be the same language. I've specifically selected
that sentence, because while discussion about programming languages
appears in other sections of Units 3 and 4, the absolutely concrete part
of the study design belongs under Areas of study. Sorry to spoil your
plan.

Take care.

Regards
Paula

Hi Paula,
--------------------
  Having had a look at the 2 software tasks for next year I am wondering
what scope there is ( one for Paula ), to use 2 of the approved
languages during the year - one for each task . I am inclined to look at
Java for the portable device outcome SAC32. Mind you a laptop is
considered a portable device so there is the possibility of doing the
same thing as a desktop.
   With outcome SAC42 I am thinking of php perhaps. The SAC requires the
software to take into account a networked information system objective
and the needs of end users. I read that to mean a shareability and
accessibility consideration for the second SAC.  
  Shareability could be achieved by a shared database on a network drive
or behind a web server. I am not keen on the sharing of a database on a
network drive. Why ?  The work is done by the odbc or related driver.
Sure, the same can be said of a solution using a web page with a
database behind it , but it is truly mobile and accessible - not just
from within the LAN of the organisation using a particular application .
If 2 languages is forbidden I might have to go with perhaps a java
applet on a web site. 

  So Paula, would you read the Study Design to allow the use of 2
programming languages during the year ?

it's worth.

At a recent VITTA day some dates were given as to when the VELS
progression points would be released.

Can someone refresh my memory on these dates please?

Thanks
