[Year 12 SofDev] Xcode and Swift in Software development

[Wraight, Timothy J]

Hi

I have been teaching Computing at years 10 and 11 and Informatics at Williamstown for 3 years.  I have so far only taught informatics at year 12 because software development hasn’t been taught here for many years.  I am interested in teaching it though and there is a possibility we may be able to have a class next year.

I have been teaching Xcode with the swift programming language to my year 10’s and 11’s as I have a classroom of all iMac’s.  Having never taught Software Development before I was just looking for some advice as to whether this would be a good language to use for it.  Is there anyone else teaching Swift at year 12? Otherwise is there another language that might be better that can be taught on macs.

Appreciate your feedback
