[Year 12 SofDev] Programming Languages?

That's the article from VCAA that will outline the languages you can choose from. It says 2011 but it hasn't changed since.

Ultimately, many here work with the language that they are most comfortable with or that language that suits their network infrastructure/administrators best in terms of permissions & security.

> In my opinion no, I only selected it because that is what I felt most comfortable with, being the first time I taught the subject. Hence I did not want to have to learn another language?The study guide has a list of the preferred languages I think? Someone will correct me if I am wrong?..been a while since I read it?.

> This will really help planning something for a head start timetable. Over the course of the year is it essential for students to do programming such as Visual Basic??

> Python is a very nice first language, and very powerful too. I have been trialling http://www.programarcadegames.com/ (an American college course) with a year 10 class. They like it and they get it. We?ve looked at codeacademy.com and a few others over the past couple of years and while they are often very slick we?ve been unimpressed by either their pedagogy or suitability for secondary students.

> This site presents a self-paced chapter by chapter program. Each chapter is supported by videos on Youtube and consists of a teaching block where students would do some copy and paste into IDLE, a set of multiple choice questions to test understanding, a theory worksheet to reinforce, and finally a lab to apply. The labs are well structured and the students are guided through the structure and logic of a program without being able to copy and paste. I find it incorporates well into a classroom where I can sit with individual kids and steer them in a useful direction.

> Lesson one treats IPO by building little specialist calculators, and by lesson 4 the kids are writing a text based adventure game (based on an old BASIC game ?Camel?). If a student perseveres (and they probably will because it?s fun) they will have produced their own animated game, having explored arrays, iteration and classes along the way.

> With WingIDE or Pycharm it?s a great combination.

> Hi everyone,
>
> This will be my first year teaching SD, just wanted to know what programming languages everybody uses throughout the year?
> I?m thinking that it might be good to use the Term break to set online tutorials for various programming languages or is best to focus on one?
