SOFT6007 COM1 Class 27

We resumed our look at image formats. We saw GIF, JPEG, ad PNG and discussed transparency.

At the end we talked a little bit about Assignment 3. Students opted for a take away assignment over an exam, which was expected.

I will spec out the assignment today  (or Tuesday.)

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 28 Lab A

Students signed up to dropbox and shared a folder with me.

I explained about the doctype and how to validate webpages.

We discussed how very different pages could all use the same single stylesheet.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 28 Lab B

Students signed up to dropbox and shared a folder with me.

I explained about the doctype and how to validate webpages.

SOFT6007 Validating XHTML

You will need to ensure that your code validates. You can check your code at http://validator.w3.org. Your pages should declare the document type correctly in order for it to validate. I recommend xhtml 1.0.

You will need to ensure that the start of your xhtml files look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

SOFT6007 Please sign up to Dropbox

Please sign up to Dropbox. If you haven't already done so you can follow this link or get someone who has signed up already to invite you. They will get extra space. Double your space at https://www.dropbox.com/edu

Make a folder called "SOFT6007-" followed by your mycit username. e.g SOFT6007-barack.obama2

Share that folder with colin.manning@cit.ie

From week 9 to the submission deadlines students will be expected to save the latest version of their assignment submission to the Dropbox at least once a week.

This will allow me to see how the work is progressing, and it will also allow me to help students out remotely if needed.

If youy are in the lab please check the screen to see if I you have shared folder. Afterwards you can check the screen shot here.

This is a requirement for the assigment(s). Failure to update your work will have a negative impact on your mark.

SOFT6007 Assessment 1 results





The results are now available here.

Use the last 4 digits of your ID number to find your mark. If the number if digits shown is less than four it's because there were leading zeros.

I couldn't find all the ID numbers. If your's isn't there, don't be alarmed.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 25

We looked at some more JavaScript. We saw loops, and rollovers, buttons, and getElementById.

There is no more JavaScript required to complete Assessment 2, whether it's an exam or a take-away exercise.

We discussed assessment 3 a bit and and warned against the dangers of over-sharing.

We looked at forms.

[I forgot my mic so there is no recording of this class]

SOFT6007 Class 22

No class today because it's a holiday. But I want to keep the class numbering consistent. So we'll call the next one 23.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 21

We looked at how to do a Three Column layout in CSS.

Someone asked me if we could use a header tag for the header instead of a div. Yes we can. The header tag is new-ish.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 20 Lab A

I explained how the float and position properties worked and asked students to play around with them.

Most students weren't that interested because
1. It's not that interesting
2. They had an exam coming up in the next class and just wanted to chill

SOFT76007 COM1 Class 20 Lab B

We looked at float (but not clear) and position. I asked students to experiment with different properties to see how they work.

It was a fairly pointless class really. I should have brought something more interesting to show.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 19

We revised RGB, and then looked at Lab and CYMK. Then we started to look at GIF. I think I lost the crowd today. Maybe the slides are a bit disjointed. We'll pick up again with GIF in the next class.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 18

We looked at how to represent color digitally. We discussed Hue Saturation Brightness (HSB) and Red Green Blue (RGB)

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 17 Lab A

We looked at how to classes and IDs work and I asked students to color the subjects in their timetables by adding class attributes to the TD tags. A number of students completed this work and left early. Others who did not finish it left early also. That's not very wise.
