Notes

BBADM3 Web Apps Week 04 Class 2 & 3 A

I showed students where to find the online HTML classes. Students will need a thorough understanding of HTML if they are to successfully complete the project.

Although I was able to play the online classes on my machine, students were unable to do so. This is a problem.

We did a quick revision of HTML and looked at lists and tables. Students should follow up these topics using the online notes.

BBADM3 Web Apps HTML Notes

I have placed some HTML notes online. Students should use these to learn the HTML required in order to successfully complete the project. (Students need not concern themselves with JavaScript code)

These online classes should play in Windows Media Player, in QuickTime, and in iTunes. They have been coded to play on iPods without any further encoding.

Interested student my learn even more HTML by taking more online classes via the iTunes Music Store. Inthe iTunes Music Store search for "Colin Manning".

CMOD6001 Week 04 - Lab DNET

Some students have still formed groups so the group exercise for todays calss was postponed.

Students should have formed groups of four by the end of the day.

One member from each group should e-mail me the name of their group, the URL for the group blog, and the names of the group members.

I completely forgot about this class and it was 1035 before I turned up. I am still a bit confused.

Some students had already left so we didn't do any thing new.

BBADM3 Web Apps Exam

The course schedule specifies that there is to be an exam in Week 04 worth 15%. However given the slight disruption we experienced, I think it is a bit soon just yet. I will give at least one week's notice of this exam.

News organizations were among the earliest adopters of RSS. Add an RSS news feed from one of the major news sites (BBC, Sky, CNN, RTE) to your blog roll. Many news organizations offer specific feeds for sport, politics, business, and the like.

BBADMIN3 Web Apps Week 03 - Class 1 A

I got assigned this module at short notice so I wasn't very well prepared.

I introduced myself, but there were actually very few student in class to meet.

Each student started a blog at blogger.com. Students will be expected to make at least one blog entry per week. The entry can be about anything.
