SOFT6007 Class 26 DCOM1 Lab

We sorted out the dropbox and the vaidator.

Students worked on Assignment 2.

SOFT6007 ITS1/DCOM1 Class 27

I talked a bit about setting up the dropbox and about using the validator.  ITS1 students are welcome to come along to class at 1400-1600 if they need help with any of that. There is usually plenty of space in the lab.

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 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 Class 26 ITS1 Lab

I spent a little bit of time with students concerned about their assessment result.

Students worked away on Assessment 2. No many seem to be taking on JavaScript just yet.

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 ITS1/DCOM1 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.
