I have just finished reading over it in the Davis book, and i have to tell you, my friends, this topic is THE SHIT!!! It is by far the most interesting topics in SDD and is the only topic where the much hated documentation :chainsaw: is not involved!

What do you reckon?

God, I have no idea what elective I'm doing... I guess I'm about 1/2 of the way through the course in class... and my teacher hasn't decided what elective we're doing!

I think we're a little on the stuffed side ;)

ryan.ckk - You'd think so, but considering that we have had 5 teachers for year 11 and 12 SDD... And we had to start again from the very beginning in February... And the fact that our teacher is also the deputy and therefore is only there about 2/3 of the time... :)

Ja... Apparently there are NO more software teachers in the public school system... So we can't do anything about it but teach outselves...

I reckon Evolution is THE SHIT

It is soooooooo good i cant comprehend it...

Im loving all the historical importance of paradigms and OOP stuff (inheritance, polymorphisim and encapsulation) prob because it is quite easy to remember... And looking over past exams, most of the questions are quite the same...

This is my fav topic of the course...

Haha that's really weird! :)

I go to a girls school :) class of about 15, I guess... out of about 240 year 12's :)

There are heaps of girls going IPT (I think 2 or 3 classes) and about another IT class (VET course taught at school for some reason)

Hey - dont forget me!!! I'm a 'chik' doin SDD, though i am the only one in my class. For that matter i'm the only person in my class, go DE.

This option is sweet especially when you don it all before!!
