Nobody turned up.

So I went and had a lovely coffee instead

Only two students showed up to class.

We looked at Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). I asked students to style the timetables they coded previoulsy.

That horrible hum in  the sound of the project. It was worse in real life than on the recording.

SOFT6007 Class 25

We had an exam

SOFT6007 Class 26

Most students just studied for the exam today

SOFT6007 ITM1 Class Class 24

Students worked on the JavaScript exercise

SOFT6008 Class 24

We had a Q&A session. However by 1330 there were no more questions so we finished up. I'm disappointed there weren't more questions.  I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad one.

SOFT6008 COM2.A Class 23

Students worked on the assignment.  Attendance was poor, but those present were doing good work

SOFT6008 DWEB2 Classes 23 & 23

Most students worked on the assignment. Most are making good progress.

Some students concentrated on preparing for next week's exam. That's worthwhile too.

SOFT6007 Class 21

We looked at JavaScript for rollovers and a coin toss game. I asked students to extend the coin toss example to turn it into a slot machine.

code:
rollover
coins

SOFT6008 COM2.A Classes 22 & 23

I spent a lot of time helping students with Photoshop.

Some students just concentrated on getting ready for the exam instead of working on the assignment. That's good too.

SOFT6008 Study Tips

The best way to learn to programs is by starting with a problem, and writing code yourself to solve it from scratch. That can be hard work, but it's the only way. Googling other people's solutions is not very useful. It's like trying to lose weight by watching other  people play soccer. 

SOFT6008 validation in action

This happened to me this morning. 

SOFT6008 COM2.B CLASS 17 & 18

Students worked on the assignment.

In the second half of the class I showed off a few Photoshop party tricks.

SOFT6008 Class 20

We did a walkthrough of code for the DNI checksum and discussed some common and some unusual strategies for coding the Luhn algorithm.

SOFT6008 COM2A Class 19

We took a look at some party tricks in Photoshop.

Photoshop now in IT2.1

O happy day

SOFT6008 DWEB2 Class 18 & 19

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
