SOFT6008 Lecture -> Lab Wednesday

On Wednesday we will use the time for labs instead of a lecture as we did last week. I expect there will be room in C218 and C134x again.

As with last week, students are welcome to come to any of labs for which I am timetabled. The full list is below.

SOFT6007 Class 37

There is no recording of today's class.

I reminded students of the URL of the PHP server where the form details are to be sent for the assignment.

I discussed fonts and told students about Google Fonts. But that was just for information. There is neither the requirement nor expectation that students will use Google Fonts for the assignment.

We looked at HTML entities for coding special characters such as €, ñ, é

We looked at Unicode and how UTF-8 distributes the code point payload across several bytes. (People looked really bored by this)

I gave students a chance to leave early and I explained how Japanese writing works to those who stayed.
