This M$/Adooby training course that is essentially the current ICT GCSE level course is poor at the very best. My son is about to start his BTEC ICT and essentially it's 2 years to build a website in HTML with some embedded Adooby player stuff and a tiny bit of Javascript. It's a little out of touch with reality when he's been hacking my Ubuntu for around 12 months with shell scripts and conf hacks (and even learning a bit of C/C++ by accident!) to expect him to take 2 years to build a website! He even runs his own Minecraft Server (Java I think) and sets the confs using scripts! And what does this actually enable him to do when he leaves school? Get it changed; it's rubbish! > -- > The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG > http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list > FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq > -- The views expressed in this communication are not necessarily those of UNISON, or the Local Government Branch Torbay UNISON.
