[Year 12 SofDev] Programming Languages

[Baas, Benjamin B]

Hi Lorraine,

From my brief research and limited knowledge of Javascript it ticks all the boxes listed in the programming requirements document on the VCAA Study Design website, if that is the case it is suitable for Software Development.

Cheers.

Ben.

Hi Lorraine I taught Java one year when I had software and I found the class handled it well.

 Hi

Thanks to those who replied to my earlier email (even though I forgot to enter a subject).

Over the past few years in Software Development I have taught VIsual Basic and C#, have taught some Javascript to a Year 10 class, and have used for PHP (and mySQL) for my own programming. My students have said that they would like to learn Javascript. I was wanting to know if Javascript is suitable for the new Software Development study design as I don't want to teach it in Units 1 and 2 and then find that it is not satisfactory for Units 3 and 4. Would I be better going back to C# or PHP?

Thanks

Hi

I am not teaching Software Development this year but am thinking about what language to teach in Unit 2 Computing. Would Javascript be suitable? What languages are people using in Units 3 and 4?

Thanks
