We had an in-class exam.
If you don't have a watch you should probably buy a cheap and cheerful one. Bringing a phone to class and using it as a watch is against the rules. It can lead to an automatic zero in the exam. So be careful.
It's inconsiderate to make noise while other students are still working on their answers. And staying in the room after you have finished to have a chat is not very nice.

We looked at some more examples of checksums and discussed how they might be implemented in JavaScript.
The audio recording didn't work for today's class. But I put the video on Google+ anyway.

We added styling to the timetable table coded in previous classes.
A lot of students used the second hour of the class to complete work for other modules.

SOFT6007 COM1 Friday 0900 class canceled
There will be no web dev class on Friday morning. Cinderella, you shall go to the ball!
Ní beidh a leithéid ann arís
Today is a sad day. Today any public servant of our republic who has enough pension entitlements to make it practical for them to leave, will leave. In schools, hospitals, government offices, and colleges all around the country people are saying their goodbyes. I imagine there pubs will be busy tonight.
The departure of so many people all at the same time will be a bit traumatic for some institutions, and the effects may even be noticed by the customers of those public services. But I expect that their departure will affect not just the public services themselves, but will impact of the very nature of public service.
The republic, since its foundation, has been served well by its public servants. They were dedicated, impartial, and well respected. Of late there has been a lot of public servant bashing, and the mutual regard the public and public servants once had or each other has been eroded. Today's exodus will see not just a quantitative change in the number of public servants. There will be a qualitative change in the whole culture of public service.
Good luck to those going. Ní beidh a leithéid ann arís.

We looked at using CSS to change the appearance of the timetables we coded in previous classes.
All students present eventually got it working.

SOFT6008 Class 14
Students worked on coding the various exercises.
I gave out a handout on Checksums
For numbers over 10, mod 9 gives the same result as adding the digits together. That's easier to implement.

SOFT6007 DCOM1/ITS1 Friday class canceled
I have to attend a panel visit for a new course on Friday morning so the 1100 class won't go ahead. Students will be expected to take the class online. A recording of the 0900 COM1 will be made available.
YouTube video on Teaching Naked
I spent all day today working on a YouTube video about Teaching Naked. I did the script months ago, and the audio a few weeks ago. I was hoping to get someone with some illustration skills to draw slides for me, but decided to just get it done and dusted.
I consider it to be in Beta just yet. Will publish it after I get some feedback.

SOFT6008 Well done!
I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the work being done in the labs. Most students seem to be taking it seriously and getting on with it.
But don't forget that if you get stuck, it's important to ask for help.

SOFT6008 Class 13
We started to look at check digits. The phonenumbers example illustrates where we are going with this stuff and how it's coded.
Must students were still working on other things though.
Cookies are tricky to deal with, but very impressive once you get them working.
