[Yr7-10it] App Development course

[Travis Parker]

Thanks Meera and Chris - Definitely some food for thought! I am looking into it leading into an "Algorithms and data structures" course at Year 10, so some of this content looks fantastic.

I think mine and Chris' wives will be in the same boat over the holidays as with all of the options for applications to use it's playtime!

Thanks again,

Trav

Hi,

     I have used app inventor last year for my year 10 class (5 weeks).  I used the following website which has all the resources and examples.

Hi all,

I am looking at starting a course (Tentatively titled "App Development") at year 9 in 2016. I have done quite a bit of programming of my apps using objective C in XCode (And found the Graeme Summers text quite useful), however we will be using Windows PCs so it is ruled out.

If any of you could please recommend a good program/programs that you have used at a Year 9 level for developing apps on PCs that would be fantastic.

Any teachers out there with an app development course? Any good resources out there?

Thanks in advance!

Trav
