SOFT6008 30 & 31

Students worked on the game assignment (mostly)

SOFT6007 30 & 31

Students worked on getting rollovers to work and learned that JavaScript is very fussy.

Students worked on a navigation bar using 4 (x2) images stuck together in a table.

We looked at check digits for user input validation. I found the whole thing so exciting that I kept going until 1220. The students were too interested polite to say anything.

The projector in B217 was unreadable, so we abandonned that room and found an empty class somewhere else. Students should check next week's timetable in case we are lucky enough to make the move permanent.

We looked at some more JavaScript (case statement, arithmetic operators) and saw how to do a rollover.

Students continued working on the JavaScript exercises.

We will move on next week.

Exercises

SOFT6007 DCOM1 Web Dev 26 & 27

Students worked on their JavaScript exercises.

SOFT6007 CA1 Results

The results of the first assessment are now available online. The last 4 digits of the student ID number provides an index in to the result.

40% was for the nested list and 60% for the image map.

This assessment was worth 20% overall.

I was disappointed by these results. It suggests that students are too used to working in copy & paste mode and are not keeping enough information in their heads. The student solutions for the nested list suggest that students do not fully grasp the structure of HTML documents.

SOFT6008 List of Exercises

Here is a list of exercises we've done so far. Each student must complete each of these. I will come looking for them.

• Time based image (eiffel tower)


• Rollover/li>
  
• Mobile phone bills (with visualization)


• Money counter


• Visual exchange rate


• Cookies


• UCLOO

SOFT6008 25

We discussed the specification for UCLOO.

UCLOO
Player starts with 100 CIT Pesos.

Player bets a stake on the oucome of 2 random cards.
A pair (e.g. Ace of Hearts and Ace of Spades) pays 3 times the stake. (e.g. player has 80 pesos. bets 10 pesos. wins. gets 30 pesos back. Now player has 100 pesos.)
A perfect pair (e.g. King of Spades and King of Spades) pays 12 times the stake.

There are 4 suits. You can use Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs or Southern European suits or you can be creative.

There are 3 cards per suit (Jack, Queen, King, for exmaple).

That means there are only 12 different cards in total.

SOFT6007 DECOM1 Web Dev 25

We started our look at JavaScript

SOFT6007-DCOM1 Web Dev 24

Students were asked to make a colour chart in HTML with 30 colours. The chart should also display the HEX colour code.

I missed the latest timetable change, and so turned up to class one hour late. Sorry about that guys. We're not having a great week.

Watch the timetable next week. Because I was told it was moving back again.

{Monday 09 March 2009}

Colin wasn't feeling well so these two lab classes were cancelled.

SOFT6007-ITM LAb 06

Students worked on their frames exercise.

SOFT6007-EVCOM 07

We had an in-class assessment.

No student stayed to continue class afterwards so we called it a night early.

SOFT6007 DCOM Web Dev 22 & 23

We looked at the CMYK and RGB color systems and the RRGGBB system for HTML.

{Colin wasn't feeling well so he left at 1540}

SOFT6008 21

Nothing special today. Students worked away on the various exercises. Some students have a lot of catching up to do.
