Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels

VitaminB52 writes "A-level computer science students will no longer be taught C, C#, or PHP from next year following a decision to withdraw the languages by the largest UK exam board. Schools teaching the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance's (AQA) COMP1 syllabus have been asked to use one of its other approved languages mdash; Java, Pascal/Delphi, Python 2.6, Python 3.1, Visual Basic 6, and VB.Net 2008. Pascal/Delphi is 'highly recommended' by the exam board because it is stable and was designed to teach programming and problem-solving."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F10%2F05%2F13%2F030218%2FExam-Board-Deletes-C-and-PHP-From-CompSci-A-Levels" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Exam+Board+Deletes+C+and+PHP+From+Comp Sci+A-Levels%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FavjTHc" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/05/13/030218/Exam-Board-Deletes-C-and-PHP-From-CompSci-A-Levels?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/VUixMmEGturUBEuuB_PjENiVDP4/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/VUixMmEGturUBEuuB_PjENiVDP4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/VUixMmEGturUBEuuB_PjENiVDP4/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/VUixMmEGturUBEuuB_PjENiVDP4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/I4U16moZ06Y" height="1" width="1"/
