[Year 12 SofDev] Software Development Newbie Questions

[Tanya Whiteley]

Hi Adrian,

Is it possible to look at the table of contents of your book?  I'm actually
still trying to decide whether to accept the position of teaching Software
Development.  I'm worried about the workload getting up to speed plus the
assessments.

Thanks and regards,

Tanya
