SOFT7008 Week 03 Lecture

We looked at passing parameters.

We paid particular to the difference between passing variables by value and by reference.

Students did a paper exercise on passing by value and by reference.

We looked at recursive functions for multiplication and Fiboancci sequence. The Colin tried the code for the Towers of Hanoi off the top of his head.  The code was OK but tracing the execution of it on the board was a head-wreck.

We moved to the lab at about 1930

SOFT7008 Week 02 Lecture

I did a very rapid summary of the contents of this weeks lecture videos.

I gave students exercises to do. They took a bit longer than I was expected.

I did Exercise 1 on the screen and e-mailed it to students.  We went to the lab early so that students without machines could get cracking on the code.

SOFT7008 Week 01 Lecture

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive I gave out a HTML exercise.

For this module should should already know

  • some HTML
  • how to program



I spoke a little bit about the inverted classroom model.  Note everybody watched the videos in advance.  But that's not a big surprise

I asked students to install XAMPP on their machine if they had them handy.  We looked at how to view html file and PHP files via localhost. The files must be in htdocs.

We looked at variables in PHP and string manipulation.

Students did an exercise on variable substitution in PHP. That's tricky.

We looked at the assessment for the module.

We didn't continue on the the labs at 2015. We all went home.

I asked students to watch the following videos before next week's facetime.  We'll see how that works and whether it frees up time for coding.
