SOFT6007 DWEB1 Classes 07 & 08




I gave students a nested list exercise to code in HTML

For those that were finished quickly I e-mailed a second similar exercise

SOFT6008 COM2.B Classes 05 & 06

We looked at alert, confirm, and prompt boxes; and loops.

I asked students to write a program that prompts the user for a number of cent, and outputs the minimum number of coins needed to make that change.

SOFT6007 Class 04 Lecture

This was mostly a pep-talk about making the most of college.

But we did talk a little bit about the module and the assessment.

SOFT6008 COM2.B Class 01

I asked students to sign-up Google+ soon.

We looked at some JavaScript. We made a page that used a different greeting depending on the time of day.
We looked at how to generate random numbers in JavaScript and how to build up an img tag in a string. The nested quotes are tricky.

In the next class students will make a page that displays a different image depending on the time of day, and they will play with and extend the New Orleans example.

SOFT6007 Some useful online classes


A bit old, but still worth a look.




HTML basics



Some points on including images in web pages. Don't forget that an img tag must include alt, width, and height attributes.

SOFT6007 Class 01 & 02 Lab A

We wrote a basic HTML page that included links and images. I asked students to experiment and add to the page, but not to use new tags.

I asked students to check out each other on Google+ and to get to know those students around them I explained how G+ circles work.

COMP6023 Repeat

The Web Publishing repeat is by continuous assessment. There is no exam. By now you should have received the assignment specifications by email. If you did not please email your lecturer (Colin & Irene). 

Students may use the same blog as before, but should check the list online to make sure the lecturer has it.

Students may use the same images as before. So there is no need to redo the experiments provided they were done properly in the first place.

Students may use the same essay title as before or may choose another from the list. It's worth considering a change of topic. 

If you have any questions or problems please email Irene or Colin

Good Luck
