[Year 12 SofDev] Xampp and its various add-on modules for teaching

Sat May 23 03:47:07 UTC 2020

Hi Kevork & Victoria,

Thank you both. I’d completely forgotten about XAMPP and I’ll be looking closer at eCommerce for the Y11 Innovation project. However, I’m using Python, not PHP. Can anyone point me in the direction of good materials for using Python for Server Side Scripting/CGI and SQL interaction?

Regards,
Jamie

Hi Victoria

    A wonderful resource you have prepared here and kindly shared with your colleagues .  Thank you 🙂

Students may care to know that they could investigate online payment options for purchases using payment gateways such as paypal.
At around 2% fee for each transaction for those who actually do implement an eCommerce solution, credit card payment can be cleared on the same day !
( I don't get a commission for this ).

I forgot to mention there are opportunities to also teach some of the security content in SD Unit 4 Outcome 2 such as cross site scripting and SQL injection,
man in the middle attacks, encryption and more.  Importantly, also how to protect against these attack vectors.
A few links that may help

Cross-site scripting (from here on out, referred to as XSS) is an injection attack in which malicious scripts are injected into a web application. XSS allows an attacker to send a malicious script to a different user of the web application without their browser being able to acknowledge that this script should not be trusted.

Hi Folks

     I am hoping you are all doing well ahead of our staggered return to regular classes next week.
I have been using XAMPP for some time and have been impressed with the increased versatility of its new add on modules.
For the uninitiated xampp can run on Windows/Linux/Mac.

It has several services such as http, https, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin etc.

[cid:image003.png at 01D63108.A6BD94F0]

It also allows for the installation and configuration of over a dozen add-on packages ( Not for Mac it seems ).
So  you want to teach Web programming, Networking, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle, OpenCart for online shopping etc etc . Easy .
[cid:image005.png at 01D63108.A6BD94F0]

The beauty is any of these features can be installed in several minutes on  a student device and you are ready to go.
It can be used from Yr 7 to Yr 12 and focus on the teaching of impressive technologies.

Speak soon
