COMP7002 UI Class 05.2

We looked at tree views from Chapter 8, but not in much detail.

We looked at Chapter 9 of the book: Tables

I asked students to make a Leaving Cert points calculator in the lab. There won't be any marks going to for (contrary to what I said in class).

We finsihed up quite early.

I met with one students and we discussed his prototype

COMP7002 UI Class 06.1

We looked at Chapter 8 of the book. We looked at Choice boxes, combo boxes, and list views.

We will look a tree views a little bit in the next class, but won't go into detail.

COMP7002 Timetable Change

The timetable has change back again.

I don't know what that was about.

COMP7002 Week 06 Lab A

Students worked on the assignment.

COMP7002 UI Timetable Change

The lab class for Group B has been moved. It is not on Tuesday at 1400 in IT2.3

COMP7002 UI Week 05 Lab B

Students worked mostly on the mock up. (Some studied for a maths exam).

I (think I) met each student and discussed the design.

COMP7002 UI Class 05.2

J.P. drew the tree based on Listing 6-2 on the whiteboard.

We looked at some methods for manipulating nodes in the hierarchy.

COMP7002 UI Class 05.1

We looked at getting input from the user. We looked at text fields, check boxes, and radio buttons.

We looked at Listing 6-1 and Listing 6-2.I asked student to draw a tree of the layout hierarchy using Listing 6-2. I asked students to e-mail a picture of it to me when done. None did.

COMP7002 UI Week 05 Lab A

Students worked on the mock up for the assignment. Many students did not develop on paper. Mock ups are done on paper because they encourage you to experiment and to thrown away what you have and start again. A lot of students boxed themselves in by not using paper.

Colin is out sick Week 04

COM7002 UI Week 03 Lab B

I left early because I wasn't feeling well.

COMP7002 UI CLASS 03.2

We looked at the last example in Chapter 4.

We looked at Chapter 5 which was on how to use the layout panes and how to add margins and spacers to nodes.

I spoke a little bit about the value of doing paper designs with actual paper.

In the next class we will look at Chapter 6.

COMP7002 UI Class 03.1

We looked at Chapter 4 of the book, up to the click counter exit program. We will start there in the next class.

COMP7002 UI Lab 03 A

Students began work on the assignment by starting to design the paper mock up.

[One student completed the in-class exercise.]

COMP7002 UI Lab 02 B

Some students completed the in-class exercise.

Others looked at the draft of the assignment spec and discussed it with Colin.

I will send out the complete spec soon.

COMP7002 UI Class 02.2

We looked at the four different ways to handle events.

We looked at the sample code AddSubtract1, AddSubtract2, AddSubtract3, AddSubtract4, AddSubtract5

I misjudged the time it would take to get through that so we finished up at 1035.

COMP7002 UI Class 02.1

Intro to JavaFX

We looked at the code samples from Chapter 1 of the book.

COMP7002 Week 02 Lab A

We did an in class exercise for credit

COM7002 UI Week 01 Lab B

I gave students three exercises to do in the lab for credit.

It went well. Students clearly have the hand of this.

COMP7002 Week 01 Lec 2

We had no lecture today either. I expect to have all my technical issues resolved by next week.

We will have labs in any event.

Students told me that many of them studied JavaFX before. I agreed that I would release the assignment specification as early as possible to they can start work on it.
