[Year 12 SofDev] SD key knowledge

[Mark KELLY]

Master? Hardly. I am paddling in the wading pool of technical knowledge
compared to many people in this fine community.

The reason I don't have trouble dumbing-down IT technicalities for kids is
because I don't actually know much about the technicalities myself.  :-)

In a way that's good, because I have trouble avoiding going overboard when
teaching topics I do know a lot about about.  I'd start teaching how to use
apostrophes and end up lecturing about the history of apostrophes during the
English reformation.

Cheers
Mark
