SOFT6008 Class 06 COM

I asked students who missed last week to make sure they caught up with what we did.

I asked students to experiment with the random image code we saw in class and to try new things with it. Building a slot machine seems like the obvious choice, but students are free to experiment.

The MCOM server was down so I put the sample code an images into students' dropbox folders.

SOFT6008 Class 05

We were in PF53 again so didn't do anything very technical.

I talked a bit about the module, the online resources, and my plans for the assessments.

SOFT6007 Class 03 ITM

We looked at how to add images to webpages using the IMG tag

SOFT6008 DWEB-COM Class 04

We extended the random image program to make various games of chance. I asked students to think about how they might extend the code further to make, say, a slot machine.

Links to code available on the notes and slides page --->

SOFT6007 Class 02 ITM

Students continued work on the pages we started in the earlier class.

We finished up a little bit early.

Good days work. Well done

SOFT6007 Class 01 ITM

We looked at a simple HTML to see the minimum requirements for a valid page. Then we made more complex pages with links to each other and links to other sites.

Everyone was already familiar with the IT systems so made rapid progress

SOFT6007 Class 4 DWEB-ITM

We looked at nested lists. Students did an exercise in class. I asked them to complete it and bring it to the next class

SOFT6008 Class 03 DWEB

We looked at how to generate random numbers in a chosen range and how to build up an image tag using document.write


I asked students to upload the work to dropbox once completed.

SOFT6008 Class 02 DWEB

I introduced JavaScript and we looked at an example program.

I asked students to type it so they could get used to the text editor and the debugging tools. Students should investigate the text editor and debugger options available for their home machines.

COMP6023 Class 03

We went home. We did well to get as much done as we did given the constraints.

COMP6023 Class 02

We uploaded a file to a web server using the web interface but couldn't get the FTP to work. [You can't FTP across CIT's wifi for security reasons]

I talked a bit about content management systems (CMSs)

SOFT6007 WEB Lab 3

We looked at how to include images in a page using the img tag. I asked student to download images and add them to their webpages.

I asked students to join Google+ and to add me to one of their circles.

SOFT6007 WEB Lab 02

We looked at
heading tags (h1, h2, h3)
links to other sites
links between pages


I asked students to build a few web pages and add links between them, along with links to other sites.

Most students got to grips with that before we moved on.

COMP6023 Class 01

I talked a bit about the module, but the assessment schedule is still a bit up in the air. I told students that it was likely that they would be working in groups of 3 and so they should have a think about that. I asked students to dust off their blogs because they are going to need them again for this module.

I talked about web hosting services and we looked at the unix commands that one might need in order to FTP files up to a web server.

SOFT6007 WEB Lab 1

Very poor audio quality!

We discussed some admin stuff like timetables and class groups

We looked at an example of a webpage written in HTML and students made a webpage using notepad++.

SOFT6008 Class 01

I was very impressed that most students managed to find the class and be there on time. For the 0900 class on Day 1 that was no easy thing.

I talked briefly about the module and the assessment schedule.

There was no technology in the room so we didn't do anything very interesting. I hope that in time we will be assigned more suitable accommodation.

I asked students to add me to one of their circles in Google+ and to share a dropbox folder with me.

Assignment reviews

A number of students submitted work over the summer. I want to meet each student to go through the submissions.

I believe that I have contacted all the relevant students at this stage. If you submitted something but haven't heard from me, please e-mail me.

In the meantime you should sign up for a meeting slot at
