SOFT6008 Class 11 DWEB

Students continued with the phone code.

Some students got themselves intro trouble with their Boolean algebra

x !=3 || x!=5 || x!=6 is not the same as x !=3 && x!=5 && x!=6

What about  !(x==3 || x==5 || x==6)  ? Is that the same as !=3 && x!=5 && x!=6 ?

SOFT6008 Class 10 DWEB

I asked student to code the phone number testing program we looked at in class.

SOFT6008 Input Validation

Over the next few classes we will be looking a user input validation and check digits.

COMP6023 Class 10

Students modified their blogs a bit and took a look at each other's blogs. Students got to work right away on modifying the blog settings.

A good day's work. Well done guys. We finished up at 1745.

This room can't double as a lecture room because there's no projector.

COMP6023 Class 09

I gave out the assessment schedule for the module and talked the students through it.

SOFT6007 Class 11 WEB

I asked students to style their timetable pages.

Most students got things working right away, but there are a few stragglers.

SOFT6007 Class 10 WEB

I explained about CSS and how to style a page using an external linked CSS file.

SOFT6008 Lab Groups

The COM2 lab group is pretty full.

If you are an Erasmus student or a repeat student it might be better if you attended the DWEB2 labs on Wed 0900-1100 IT1.2

SOFT6007 Class 09 DWEB

We looked at colspan and rowspan. I asked student to modify their timetable tables so that they account for double classes.

SOFT6008 Class 11 COM

Students continued working on the mobile phone exercise. It took longer than I expected and a few students got into difficulty. When coding in javascript it's very important to code piece by piece and test as you go.

SOFT6008 Class 10 COM

I asked students to code the code example we looked at in class. Code should account for 089 numbers also

SOFT6008 Class 09 COM-WEB

We looked and prompt boxes for user input, the structure of loops in js, and using js for user input validation.

The trickiest thing we saw was the slice method.

SOFT6007 Class 07 ITM

I got distracted and completely forgot to go to class. When I eventually turned up at 1240, I was surprised to find most students still there, although not all were working on their HTML.

I'm sorry. We'll have plenty if time to make up, so there's no need to be concerned

SOFT6007 Class 06 ITM

We looked at lists again and saw how to do definition lists.

We reviewed the IMG tag and I talked about resizing images.

We looked at HTML Entities for non-English characters.

I asked students to code some non-English text and to complete the example nested list in HTML. Most students finished on time, but some didn't. Those students will need to get that  sorted.

SOFT6007 Class 05 ITM

I held class an hour earlier at the request of the students.

We did a recap and I tried to make sure that everyone has the basics sorted.

SOFT6008 Class 06 WEB

Students continued work on their games of chance.

I'm well impressed with the skill level and attitude of the class. I anticipate we will get lots of good work done over the course of the semester.

IT problems

An electrical contractor accidentally cut the power to the comms room yesterday evening. Some services start back up right away, while others need a helping hand. Others are just towards the back of the queue. There server where my notes are is way downs the queue.
