PASCAL SUCKS! The age of compilable-is-better is coming to an end very very quickly. The age of client-side is also coming to an end, which is both good and bad. I code in Python, which is extremely high level and ideal for both server and client applications. PHP is alright, but it's a...

Yes, and if I do really crap this year I can always repeat it ;) I started programming with QB and some old 1980s programming books when I was 6 ;) Other scary thing though, is that people are learning how to USE computers at younger and younger ages, but not as many are REALLY learning...

Actually, that's incorrect. It's only when they DO make it public (i.e. the binary version or other proprietary version) but they DON'T release the source code under your copyleft license, that they must purchase a licence. Otherwise, your license would contradict the Open Source Definition...

Correct :) I think I did pretty well in chem, but that's OT in this forum :)

I've skipped two years, did Year 10 Comp Studies when I was 9, IPT when I was 11, Year 10 Science when I was 12, and now SDD and Chemistry this year, while still doing my SC. From that plus my sig I suppose you can calculate my age :)

Hmm, will be interesting to see what they get once scaled. I would expect there to be quite a few people who get 99, 100 raw in the exam, but the position of first in the state comes from your overall HSC mark, so we'd have to wait and see how their assessment marks and moderated marks turn out...

:D

Not sure about SCM, but I do ;) And, Python rocks. I'm going to write my most complex web app ever in it ;) And it'll be neater than PHP ;)

Well I think we're split 50/50 each way actually :P Hope you're wrong, for my sake ;)

I think popular opinion is divided between B and C, and I went for C as it's for QA purposes rather than training purposes. So if I'm right, you got 19/20 ;)

SCM's arrogant and admits to it ;) Don't take what he says seriously... JFTR I have seen his insane 4-dimensional JavaScript program which is something like 1000 lines long. I don't know how anyone could write that in JS. Still, I think I beat him when it comes to Python :P

1. Go online and buy a few more SDD textbooks other than Heinemann, since Heinemann is error-ridden and generally pretty crap. 2. How good are you at programming, and also how good are you at web design? One suggestion I have for people who are good at both is to try a simple web application...

I think you mean you didn't look at it since the question actually didn't require you to.

I got -3 x 15 = -45.

I said long response ;) I think the prime number question was good except for that stupid error.

I'll scan it tomorrow if noone else has by then.

Which long answer question did you like the most? For me it was pretty close between 21d, 22d and 25c.

Yes, it was a nice question. I'm going to set up a "what was your favourite question" thread now :)

I think 85+. 90 would be nice though and I wouldn't expect it to be impossible for me to get. Scaled though I'm not doing so well in ranks - 4/11 or so.

The answer could be technically correct, but for the purposes of the HSC it is the best answer that rules.
