There are three languages VCAA have approved for 2017. These are :

• Edgy, a block based programming language

• Python, a text-based programming language (with NetworkX and matplotlib for graph functionality)

• Wolfram Mathematica, a scientific computing language

Edgy is the best language for students new to programming, as it’s block-based nature allows for quick and intuitive programming, however experienced programmers may wish to use python, as it has a far larger feature-set, is used extensively in industry and some prefer it’s text-based interface.

Wolfram Mathematica is used fairly often in scientific and Engineering fields, and students who have experience may wish to have a look at it, however it will not be supported by any tutorials on this site.
