[Year 12 SofDev] Event Driven Programming

[Chris Bucknell]

Hi All,

My short answer on the use of PHP and Java as languages that can be used is YES.  But I think you need to look at the language requirements in a bit more depth than what we have been used to in the past.

The new language requirements are not simply list of languages, but a description that allows us to use the appropriate languages/technologies for each layer of solution the students will develop.  So as an example, students could develop a solution that uses:

·        HTML (with Java Script) as the “Interface Layer”

·        PHP (as it was originally developed) for the “Logic Layer”, and

·        Some variant of a dB (MS-SQL, MYSQL, NOSQL, …) for the “Data Source Layer”, or

·        Follow the current application model/pattern for “Universal Apps” (if you are like me and live on the Micro$oft stack  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn726767.aspx )

Of course I could also see many other application patterns using:

·        files (text, XML, JSON, dB, web-services, …) for data storage/access,

·        StoredProc’s, web services, etc… from dB servers as part of a solutions “Logic Layer”.

Lastly my read on the “no dB in the Interface Layer”, is to solve the problem of a solution just being built in “MS Access”, ”Filemaker”, etc… - i.e. Access forms and reports and a wizard produced solution.

Only my two cents worth.

Just looking at the VCAA on language requirements.

“use objects, methods and event-driven programming functions.”

PHP has been my language of choice BUT does not support “event-driven programming” .. well not easily. Does that mean I can’t use PHP?

What other languages are popular that satisfies this?

ALSO what does “Note that databases are not to be used in the interface layer.” mean?? Can I use MySQL in logic layer or NOT??
