SOFT6008

Class will go ahead today as scheduled

SOFT6008 Classs 41, 42, 43 cancelled

Sorry. From the blog it looks like I didn't warn of this advance. I knew on Friday last that I wouldn't make it.

We have had 2 additional classes up to now. I had planned to do an extra one next Monday to make up the missing class, but Monday is a holiday. If there is interest we can have an extra lab today at 1800. It doesn't make sense for me to offer an extra class next week after the deadline.

SOFT6007 Class 38 & 39

There was someone in C128 when we arrived there today. We have only been squatting in this room, because I never requested the timetable change. In the confusion we lost a few people on the way.

From now on our classes will be where they are timetabled. So Thursday 1100-1300 is in IT1.3 and Thursday 1600-1800 will be in IT2.2. In particular the assessment 3 will be in the scheduled rooms.

Students worked on Assignment 2

SOFT6007 Character Encoding Tip




Paste one of the following into head tag of each html page

meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"
or
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2"
or
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"

Blogger got upset so I couldn't but in the obvious "<" and ">"
Thanks to Billy Lynch for that

SOFT6008 Class 39

Students worked on trying to code the shopping cart. As usual progress varied considerably from student to student.

SOFT6008 Class 38

Students worked on getting to grips with cookies and the shopping cart concept.

SOFT6008 Assessment 2

Assessment 2 will be an in-class assignment. It will be in C128 at 1300-1500 on 03 May 2010.

I expect to provide more detail before then.

SOFT6008 Class 37 X

We did an extra class (just in case)

We thought a bit about how we might implement a shopping cart using a cookie to store a single string. The trick is designing the string in a way that it is easy to get desired information in and out of it.

SOFT6008 Class 37

We looked at onclick and innerHTML

SOFT6007 Class 36

Today was fairly quiet. I helped a few students with their CSS. I get the feeling that the students don't really get CSS. I'll try to correct that, if it's not too late.
