[Year 12 SofDev] FW: U4O1 question

[Adrian Janson]

Hi Frank,

 

In terms of the SAC itself - base your criteria on the key skills.  The key
knowledge is broader than what needs to be internally assessed - but as you
have stated, students need to be familiar with the key knowledge for the
exam.  

 

As for "applications and purposes of utilities in a programming
environment", my understanding of this is that is refers to the various
tools that you use when programming such as editors, debuggers, compilers,
interpreters etc. - as opposed to linkers and loaders (which I will not be
covering). As you have pointed out, these 'utilities' are in fact integrated
into most good programming languages GUI's nowadays - but students still
need to be aware of them and what purpose/s they have. 

 

Hope this helps!

 

PS: I will be posting my U4O1 to the list soon as well as my assessment
criteria sheet - will these be of help?

Folks - I didn't get any replies to this question. It is something we could
be examined about, but I honestly don't know what it is on about......

I could not find it specifically treated in the Janson text. Allan Barnes'
text talks about linkers and loaders, which I don't think are relevant in
today's programming environment, but I could be wrong. Any insights would be
appreciated.

Folks - one of the key knowledge  points in U4O1 is "applications and
purposes of utilities in a programming environment".

I haven't done any serious programming for 15 years, and honestly wouldn't
know of any utilities currently used for this purpose. Linkers, loaders and
editors (utilities of the distant past)  are all integrated these days. Any
suggestions?
