SOFT7008 Week 03 Class 05 Exercise Solution

This is my solution to the exercise. See how it compares with your.s

This week we are looking at functions.

Don't forget to do the exercise. The solution will be released here on Friday at 1600

Class 06 Functions that return values

SOFT7008 Week 03 Lab

We had a 2-hours-is lab session on Monday night. Nobody asked any questions, but that's OK too.

Quite a few students were able to make the session, so I think Monday nights might be the best time slot for us.

SOFT7008 Week 02

Class 03
Working with numbers

example05.php

example07.php

Class 04
Control structures.  If, Switch, Loops. Arrays.

example09.php

example10.php

SOFT7008 Exercise 1 Feedback

Not everybody managed to get the exercise done on time.

A common mistake was to close of the list items too soon. When a list is nested inside another, it goes inside the li.  So closing off France with a /li when there are cities inside it, is incorrect.  Lists are not that important, but that exercise illustrates the structure of HTML.

If you struggled with this exercise, this video might help.

The HTML validator at validator.w3.org is a great resource for checking that HTML is correct.  Just because something looks OK in the browser, doesn't mean it's correct. We don't need a lot of HTML for this module.  So we won't dwell on it too much.

SOFT7008 Week 01 Exercise

Please complete the nested list exercise and submit it via Blackboard by Sunday lunchtime.

By now you should have watched the videos for Classes 01 & 02.

You should have your PHP server up an running. If you have not, or it you are not sure, please contact me.

When writing PHP & HTML you can use any text editor that you like. Most CIT students prefer Notepad++ or Programmers Notepad. Mac users like TextWrangler.  WordPad is a poor choice because it really encourages you to save the code as a .doc rather than a plain vanilla text file.

If you feel like you want to skip ahead on occasion I'll be putting the videos into this YouTube channel.

That concludes the bulk of our business.

COMP7004 Class 12.2

No customers today

SOFT6013 Class 12

I helped students with the data visualisation assignment.

Some students presented their submissions. Those students do not need to come to class next week.

COMP7004 Class 12.1

Nobody turned up

COMP9039 Law - Week 11 Data protection & the GDPR

Four and half hours of EU regulations in every dose

Earlier in the week I recorded lectures on the GDPR. Rather than waiting until I had the audio edited and synchronised with the slides in video form I e-mailed the raw audio to students along with the slides.  The files are on Blackboard now also. The audio file is 4.5 hours long. So obviously I don't expect anyone to get through it in one sitting.  It's guaranteed to send you to sleep it you try.

Today I uploaded e-mailed some articles and notes that elaborate on the "legitimate interest" justification for data processing.  The GDPR isn't especially informative on that.

No one attended the live session tonight.

Although the GDPR lecture largely concludes our business I will be online again next week to answer any questions or help with any issues.

COMP7004 Class 11.3

Nobody turned up.

That's fine too.

COMP7004 Class 11.2

we had an exam from 0930-1100. So there was no class

SOFT6013 Week 11

I helped students out with the assignment.

Some are finished already. Most are nearly there.

But I don't know anything about the students that didn't come to class. And I wasn't able help them.

COMP7004 Class 11.1

We had a presentation on Revenge Porn.

I spoke briefly about each of the essay topics and clarified some points where need. I encouraged student to focus on the ethical issues and togo beyond mere descriptions.

I spoke about plagiarism at length.

I answered some questions about the exam on Thursday. We didn't do trade marks not the UDRP yet, so those topics are off the list of possible questions.

COMP9039 Law Week 10 - Privacy

We had a lecture on Privacy and Data Protection. No students attended the live session.

There was some issue and the audio did not record. So the recording is of no value to students.

COMP7004 Class 10.3

We had a presentation by Keith M & Evan S on Image Editing.

We had a presentation on Gold Farming

COMP7004 Class 11.2

We had a presentation on Net Neutrality

We had a presentation on Digital Redlining
