SOFT6013 Week 05

This week students worked through the exercises by themselves.

I'm not convinced that went well. I think in future class might be a bit more prescriptive.

I talked at length about what was expected for the blogs and outlined some of the issues I encountered when I was correcting them.

We looked at codes of ethics and how useful they might or might not be.

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

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.

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.

In the next class we will look at Chapter 6.
