<p>I'm most likely jumping in the middle of a conversation here - but,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How likely is it that a language such as WindowsPhone SDK could be included on the list of languages?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have used the Xbox SDK, and iOS (for game development outside class time), and these also seem to have interesting/benificial applications - and could be interesting languages for students to learn (both are OO)...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It would be good to see this type of technology appearing on the list...</p>

<div>Hi Mark
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In pseudocode, END IF does not need to be written. It commonly is -- but it is not required. I recall on past exams in SD that the assessors did not flag this as an error.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this is because 'VB-centric' languages (wish I had a better way of describing this phenomenon since so many teachers use VB) require the END IF in the code. But some languages, such as PHP, do not require it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But perhaps someone else might add to the discussion?</div>

[Year 12 SofDev] Pseudocode tweak - VITTA 2012 SD Exam #1, Question C8b<br>
<br>
<br>
<p>Hi all. I believe in the VITTA 2012 SD Exam #1 there's a missing END IF to close the last IF in C8b.
<br>
<br>
It's not crucial to any of the subsequent questions, but you might want to add it before giving it to the kiddies.<br clear="all">
