This course is organised into two projects – web development and programming. In the web development module you will learn about what makes a successful website and then design and create a website using HTML and CSS, integrating modern web design principles and images edited or created in Adobe Photoshop. The development of your site will be managed using an agile methodology. You will then learn the foundations of programming with Python – an extremely relevant skill in the digital world we live in.
Assessment: A mixture of internal and external assessment will be offered in this course
Pre-requisites: Nil
Voluntary contribution: $20 for materials and printing
Leads to: Year 12 Digital Technologies
Qualification available: NCEA Level 1
In Year 12 Digital Technologies you will design and develop a website. The pages of the website will be generated dynamically with content fetched from a database. The development of the site will involve an agile methodology and industry standard source control, as well as efficient image manipulation in Photoshop. For the second project you will build on your programming skills to plan and write an advanced computer program in Python.
