I gave a bit of a pep talk.

We will have an in-class written exam on Tuesday 28 October at 1100. In class I said that was worth 40%. But it's actually 20% of the final mark.




We looked at image maps.

I gave students a printed version of iberia.jpg. The image file is available from the notes page over there ---->

SOFT6007 DWEB1 Class 14

Students finished off their timetables in HTML. Those students that were finished worked on other things for other modules.

Some students hadn't even started the timetable. That's very worrying.

I asked student to watch a video about image maps.

SOFT6007 Image Maps


This week we will look at image maps.

SOFT6008 Checksums


SOFT6008 Useful Images









Students can use these images to make a pizza ordering page, using the Mr. Spud Head  example as a template.

SOFT6008 Class 12



I discussed some strategies for being successful in this module.

We decided that Assessment 1 (the written exam) will be held during class time on 29 October.

I talked a little bit about Assessment 2.

We looked at the Mr. SpudHead example. That included the visible property.

I introduced the topic of user input validation using JavaScript. We will continue with this in the next lecture.  I gave out a handout on checksums. Students who didn't get a paper copy can download it.

Handout:  checksums4.pdf

SOFT6008 COM2.B Classes 09 & 10

I met with each student and reviewed the solution to the coin change exercise. Some students had not yet completed this. That gave me some cause for concern.

Students worked on extending the coin toss example, to turn it into a slot machine.

SOFT6007 Class 09



We looked at tables in HTML.




I asked student to write the code for this table in groups.
Tip: colspan and rowspan say nothing about the actual with and height of cells. Ask yourself how many walls or ceilings have been knocked.

In labs this week students will code their class timetables in HTML.
