[Year 12 SofDev] Software Development Newbie Questions

[Andrew Shortell]

Hi Tanya
Have a quick look at the archives of this list over the last six months - quite a few newbies coming on board

also — still using old study design for 2019 - changes in 2020

also Most of us put our school name in signature — cause there used to be a few students subscribed

vceit.com <http://vceit.com/> is also good.

book —> only one is Adrian Janson’s and there is some doubt that he will update for new study design cause there is so little money in a book for 1600 students even if all of them purchased.

there are other resources too

many use VB, some use python, a few are trying out or using php

Look at some of emails to list over last few months

SAT:  you can email Phil Feain at VCAA for definitive statements on SAT - he is curriculum manager

you can ask us off list for comments

there is a SAT training day early next year. the SAT will take the students about five months to do. it is a significant item and really makes this subject the equivalent of a folio subject.
