I have started writing a VCE Software Development text for the new Study Design (2011 - 2014).  If you would like further details or to express an interest, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I can place you on my list for future updates.  I hope to have promotional materials available in a month or so with preview content available in mid-year.

Update (31/7/10): I have almost finished writing and I am planning for the text to be available in November 2010.  It will be full colour, about 200 pages in size and will retail for around $50.  Questions for each chapter (as well as solutions) will be posted on this web-site for students to access.  The text will only be available directly from this web-site (and not from book-sellers).  More information will be available soon!

The iGEA (Interactive Games and Entertainment Association) recently ran a feature on my Yr.10 Games Design class using XNA and XBOX360's.

  Andy Wells from BigPond GameArena recently came to Melbourne High School to interview my class about the Game Design class that I am running.  The course is based on XNA / C# and students are creating programs for the XBOX360.  It has been very successful and the students have enjoyed it thoroughly.  I have details of my experiences in creating and delivering the course in my blog.
