Visual Studio Console Programming for beginners - Making a Password checker in simple steps

Suitable for more advanced students or teachers, this unit of work booklet shows how a simple program can be developed over a series of lessons using a Console Application in Visual Studio.

Covering the main programming topics of Input / Output, Selection, Fixed and Conditional Loops, Variables and Constants, and Arrays, this booklet builds a simple password and username entry system and develops it.

At the end of the booklet, the leaner will have developed a program that checks an array of acceptable usernames and password, and uses loops to check through the array to see if a correct one has been entered.

Split into different sections covering many of the programming topics needed for GCSE, each section has 2 pages, with a code example to type in or modify, and explanation about each concept, with key syntax points, and some questions to prompt deeper understanding.

Suitable for upper KS3 or GCSE students, this work booklet can be used as a standalone in lessons, as a basis for individual work, as a class teaching tool, or as a guide for teachers wanting to learn about Visual Basic programming.
