Attendance was very poor.

Students worked on the assignment.

I gave out a handout. I will give it out in the lecture anyway later.

I said that we will do a room swap from next week. But that plan has changed. We now have Photoshop in IT2.1

Mumps (świnki)

Students should check with their parents that they have been vaccinated against mumps.  Any student who hasn't might want to consider getting vaccinated.

The vaccine is especially important if are a male who hasn't had the mumps and you are planning on making babies in the future.

Some notes on HTML5 form imput types
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_form_input_types.asp

Someone asked what would happen you selected  few locations for "Where you have lived". If all of the items have the same name then only the last will be sent. It's possible to send an array of items. But we are avoiding using that.

SOFT6008 Class 16 X - extra class

This covers the check sum calculations for Europa Series bank notes, Polish PESEL numbers, Spanish DNI numbers, and French INSEE numbers.

SOFT6008 Slot Machine Solution updated

Some students didn't build on the coins example to make a slot machine like I recommended and instead went for my solution. That was an old solution that used names instead of IDs. I've since updated that so it uses only getElementById.

Of course it's always better to attempt your own solution to an exercise. That's how the learning happens.

SOFT6008 COM2.B Classes 13 & 14

Students worked on the pizza exercise.

Some students worked out the checksum calculation for Polish ID numbers. Nice one.
