SOFT6008 Class 37 X

We did an extra class (just in case)

We thought a bit about how we might implement a shopping cart using a cookie to store a single string. The trick is designing the string in a way that it is easy to get desired information in and out of it.

SOFT6007 Class 36

Today was fairly quiet. I helped a few students with their CSS. I get the feeling that the students don't really get CSS. I'll try to correct that, if it's not too late.

SOFT6007 Assessment Deadlines

Assessment 3 will be an on-class exercise that will reply heavily on the use of JavaScript. It will be an open book exam. You will be permitted to use any resources you wish, but may not communicate with anyone else.


Day Students

Assessment 2 Web Site is due on Tuesday 4 May by 1800. The 1700 class is an obvious slot during which to hand it up, but before then is fine too.

Assessment 3 In-class exercise will take place on Thursday 29 April. Group B 1100-1300 in IT2.3. Group A 1600-1800 in IT2.2. If you have a laptop please bring it.
If you already know that you cannot make this date for some good reason, let me know and it may be possible for you to take it with the evening students. (A sporting event of some kind, is not a good reason.)

Night Students
Assessment 2 is due on by 2100 Wednesday 28 April.

Assessment 3 will take place on Wednesday 05 May.

SOFT6007 Week 09

We agreed on 28 April as the deadline for the Assessment 2. Students should deliver the work to me on USB stick or CD during class on 28 April, or before.

Assessment 3 will be an in-class exercise on the evening of 5 May.

We looked at Cascading Style Sheets, had a break, then looked at JavaScript.

SOFT6007 Forms

The form for Assignment 2 should send the data using GET to http://atlantis.cit.ie/displayvalues.php

SOFT6007 Class 33

SOFT6007 Assessment 1 Results

The results for Assessment 1 are now online. The first column shows the last 4 digits of the Student ID number. (Where there are fewer than 4 digits the missing digits are preceeding zeros). The second column shows the student's mark.

If your number does not appear it may be that you are not registered. Please e-mail Colin so that he can check that there is not a mistake. If you are not registered you will not receive your result until you are.

If you think the mark may be incorrect please e-mail Colin so he can check. It might be a transcription error, for example.

SOFT6008 Copying code

Students should be careful about copying code from other students. Copying code from other students and using it in assignments is not acceptable. Using code that you did not write yourself will very likely result in disciplinary action.

SOFT6008 Class 36

Some students are still working on Assignment 1.

I asked the remaining students to continue working with cookies.
