[Year 12 SofDev] Programming languages for 2001

[Don Morelli (Optus)]

Thanks Paula and the message is quite clear. Teachers now have an extra year
to upgrade their skills and come to grips with changing to VB.net or some
other language that fully supports OOP.

Cheers Don

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] Programming languages for 2001

 

Dear colleagues

 

There has been some discussion about the suitability of VB 6 as a language
that meets the requirements of the programing languages for 2011. One of the
criteria for determining a language's suitability is its capacity to support
object-oriented programming and graphical user interface design. Any
variation of Basic is allowed if it meets these requirements and while
theoretically VB 6 does not "formally" support OOP, it does support objects,
so for 2011 it is be considered an accepted programming language. The list
of programming languages will be reviewed early next year and the list maybe
changed, taking into account the suitability of all languages.

 

Regards

Paula
