SOFT6007 Publishing a Web Site

If you save a file called index.html in the root of your H drive, your folder becomes web accessable. This is a very easy way to publish a website.

The URL for the site will be
http://mcom.cit.ie/students/kcomp_7_y1/R00012345/
where R00012345 is your student number.

Have fun!

SOFT6007 Class 31 A

Some students did some work. But most were too full of that Friday feeling.

SOFT6007 Class 30 A

We looked at CSS.


We looked again at the French Songs CSS exmaple. There's a good bit of CSS in there to decipher.

We took a look at some examples of using CSS to layout a page, that got progressively complex. The final example could be used as a basis for much of Assignment 2.

I asked students to watch this YouTube tutorial on CSS.

SOFT6007 Class 31 B

Students started work on some CSS pages of their own.

Some students had questions about Assessment 2.
It's worth 40%
You will need forms. If you want to make a start on forms over the Spring Break everything you need can be found here (notes) and here (video)

Some students didn;t do any work at all. I'm not anyone's mammy.

SOFT6007 Class 30 B

I asked students to watch this YouTube tutorial on CSS. But there was no sound on the machines in the lab. So that didn't work out.

SOFT6007 EV COM1 Assessment 1

We did an assessment

I am not happy that some students did not take seriously the instructions prohibiting communication. This is very serious. These students should consider themselves to be on Yellow Cards.

The plan to do some work after everyone was done didn't work out.

That puts us a bit behind. Students should watch the videos of the day time classes thta dealt with CSS and check the blog over the break for any updates.

The specification for Assessment is online. But we didn't get to talk about it. Student should try to make a start on it.

SOFT6007 Class 29

We looked at the spec for Assessment 2 and discussed it a little.

The projector wouldn't play nice so we had to make do with the printouts Colin brought. We looked at a CSS example. html css

SOFT6008 Class 32

Some serious debugging.

SOFT6008 Class 31

Students continued work of the assessments and on cookies.

Students who have finished the assessment this week should get it to me before the break. There is a good chance I would be able to give early feedback. Any deficiencies can be corrected before the deadline.

SOFT6008 Class 30

We looked at cookies

The handout I gave out in class has some important points in it that I did not discuss in class.

SOFT6008 Class 29

Students worked on coding pages for the Assessment.

I advised students that they will be expected to meet with me and talk me though their code as part of the assessment process.

SOFT6007 Class 28

We continued our look at CSS

SOFT6007 Class 26 A

Not much going on

SOFT6007 Class 27 A

We were in C128

Didn't seem to be a whole lot of work going on.

Some students asked about the assignment specification. I should have that very soon.

SOFT6007 Class 27 B

Not much going on really

SOFT6007 Class 26 B

We were in B219. This timetable arrangement will be permanent.

I couldn't find anyone who was doing actual work. I don't know how to force people. Perhaps once I specify the assignment things will pick up.

SOFT6007 EV Week 07

17 March was a holiday.

Don't forget the exam is next week.

SOFT6007 Class 25

We started a bit late because the project would not talk to Colin's laptop.

Only 5 students were in class.

We looked at Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

SOFT6008 Class 28

We looked at how to modify the CSS properties of page elements on a form using getelementbyid. This can be used to highlight user inputs that to not comform to requirements.

SOFT6008 Class 27

More coding.

The Assignment 1 specification was locked down and the deadline set at noon on 12 April 2010.
