[Year 12 SofDev] Python Version

[Kent Beveridge]

Just as an appendix...I am not taking a VCE group presently...none elected IT at VCE level for 2015.
My Python class is in fact a year 9 crew...but the link is still a great one ....we are just about to move into the graphical applications stuff....the menus also have video training as part of the link, it's a complete package. I like it.
Ps...I am using ALICE for the first time  and it's not too bad but is taking some getting used to. The tutes are great and the assessment tools are handy too...used at year 8.

I second Kent's recommendation. I've used Prof. Craven's http://www.programarcadegames.com/ site with a couple of classes now, it uses 3.x and it's one of the better courses around. Python 2.x and 3.x live happily side-by-side on Windows or Linux but need a little bit of tweaking on Mac. The site talks about how to do this.

I had a lot of fun, and my kids enjoyed making old-school text adventure games. They will end up with a full Windowed GUI that uses classes and objects.

Hi,



I want to teach programming concepts using Python programming language to my Year-10 students. I haven't taught python programming before.



I noticed that the desktop computers in our school have Edustar image with Python 2.5 version. On their website however, they have two versions - 2.7.10 or 3.4.3. Now I am confused which one to use.



If someone is using python, could you tell me which version would be recommended. What are limitations with Python 2.5?
