The window of opportunity for getting marks for the Week 04 blog entry is now closed.

SOFT6008 Class 17 & 18 Lab B

Students work on the exercises. Most on the cookies.

SOFT6008 Class 19

We (went to / stayed in) C128. It's a better room and it was available.

We had a lab class. Students are working away. But some are making progress better than others.

I introduced the idea of working with the DOM using the example from p78 of the textbook.

The code can be downloaded from http://www.ineasysteps.com

SOFT6008 Class 17 & 18 Lab A

Students worked on the exercises. Some on Cookies others on Checksums

Slides: Chapter04

SOFT6007 Class 16

I gave a pep-talk. Attendance was < 50%, so I was probably talking to the wrong half of the class.

Because some students were having problems in the labs we did a recap. I stressed over and over again that it's all about the structure. The rest is just detail.

From Tuesday next, this module will be taught by Aisling. So good luck and I hope to darken your door again some time next year.

SOFT6008 Class 16

We looked at some more check sums for user input validation and the JavaScript functions that might be useful for coding them (but not in that order)

All these are on the CHECKSUMS handout

SOFT6008 Extra lab class added

There is a new 2 hour lab class in C128 on Mondays 0900-1100.

In the first instance students are free to go whichever labs they choose. If that is problematic, I will assign students to groups.

SOFT6007 Class 14 & 15 Lab A

Students coded the image maps they worked on in class. Getting there. Slowly.

Attendance was very poor. I expect the attitude adopted by some students will result in them doing poorly.

SOFT6007 Class 14 & 15 Lab B

Students coded the image maps they had worked on in class. It didn't go well. Students are still not clear on the basics.

Computing Ethics Class 11 is Canceled

No class today

SOFT6007 Class 13

We reviewed image maps and students did an in-class exercise. Some students left before they were finished. That's not a great strategy for success.

Remember:
What's on top in the html file is on top in the image map
area tags must have an alt to be comeplete
if you are linking to a page in the same folder href="vegas.html" you don't need the http
but if you are linking to a website href="http://www.lasvegas.org" then you do need it

Students will be expected to code the Iberia example and the cities example in the labs this week
