[Year 12 SofDev] Stack simulator 2012

[Mark KELLY]

Hi all. It's about time to cover stacks with my kids again, and I find it
useful to get them to code a stack implementation as an exercise.
This drives home how stacks operate, and is good practice for U4O1.  It's
relatively quick to do in class, and the program itself is quite short but
challenging.
It is also contrained to work in a smallish screen to get kids to consider
a mobile device's special programming needs.

I forgot to tell mine to design it with pseudocode and screen mockup,
first, but you might want to add that step.

This year's version emphasises user interface and data validation in
preparation for U4O1.
