SOFT7008 Week 06 Lecture

We looked at the different ways to make data persist in PHP and how long it can last.  We also considered a bit how cookies can pose a threat to privacy.

SOFT6008 Week 05 Class

In light of the weather warning for tonight I e-mailed exercises to students and suggested that they could work from home if they wish. I will be available online on Google Hangouts to answer any questions.  For those students that want to come to class I will be here anyway.

SOFT7008 Week 05 Videos

Class 09: The magic of cheksums





Class 10: User input validation in PHP

SOFT7008 Week 04 Lecture

I spoke a bit about HTML 5 inputs and how the browser do some very basic form validation for us.

We did some exercises using regular expressions. They didn't go as well as I would have liked. So perhaps some students need look at those again.

I previewed next weeks videos by introducing checksums.  We looked at the Luhn credit card validation algorithm.  Students seemed less impressed by this magic that I was expecting.

We moved to the lab at 2000


I e-mailed students the specification for the coding component of the module.
