[Year 12 SofDev] U3O2 - Programming skills

[Matheson, Heath A]

Hi Peter,



There are not really a list of key programming skills. The skill is "use appropriate processing features of the programming languages".

I definitely included:

*         basic maths calculations

*         concatenating strings

*         inputs and outputs

*         if/then/else

*         and/or/not

*         for statements

*         'repeat until' versus 'while'.



I've probably forgotten something. If you haven't already, glance through the 2011 and 2012 exam. The pseudocode questions give a bit of an idea of what they must know.



Cheers,

Heath Matheson

Hi guys,



I'm teaching Software Development for the first time and would appreciate some wisdom from those more experienced.



In the study design, I can see that I need to cover data types, arrays, records and files.



But I can't find anything about other skills, general mathematical calculations, If statements, While loops, For loops etc.



Is there a list of key skills whilst we're programming?



I don't want to miss anything that could be on an exam.



Thanks.
