[Year 12 SofDev] Fwd: WindowsPhone SDK apps and programming...

Fri Aug 17 09:13:45 EST 2012

I'm most likely jumping in the middle of a conversation here - but,

How likely is it that a language such as WindowsPhone SDK could be included on the list of languages?

I have used the Xbox SDK, and iOS (for game development outside class time), and these also seem to have interesting/benificial applications - and could be interesting languages for students to learn (both are OO)...

It would be good to see this type of technology appearing on the list...

Cheers,

Sorry..forgot to add this to the possible options for the next "allowed languages" option for SD study design? It's very OO!

Wondering how many out there are using or have tried this tool to use with programming or just to build Apps.
I am currently looking at it. I like the emulator interface and actually prefer it to the GoogleAppInventor.
People's thoughts?
Kent.
Ps. AJ it has XBox tools too! (XNA)

Hi Mark

In pseudocode, END IF does not need to be written. It commonly is -- but it is not required. I recall on past exams in SD that the assessors did not flag this as an error.

I think this is because 'VB-centric' languages (wish I had a better way of describing this phenomenon since so many teachers use VB) require the END IF in the code. But some  languages, such as PHP, do not require it.

But perhaps someone else might add to the discussion?

[Year 12 SofDev] Pseudocode tweak - VITTA 2012 SD Exam #1, Question C8b

Hi all. I believe in the VITTA 2012 SD Exam #1 there's a missing END IF to close the last IF in C8b.

It's not crucial to any of the subsequent questions, but you might want to add it before giving it to the kiddies.
