SOFT6008 Class 02.2 & 02.3 W

I asked students to complete the slot machine and then to take a look at the call cost calculator in advance of class.

I appreciate that many of you were already done, but I keep to keep the various lab groups in sync for the moment.

I was a bit distracted today and didn't give you all the attention you deserved. Sorry about that.

I explained that http is just one of many protocols.

We followed the steps involved from clicking on a link to displaying a webpage.

I gave out a  handout on HTML entities. But we didn't discuss it.

SOFT6008 Week 01 Recap

In the lecture we looked at the Document Object Model and a number of examples using images and random numbers for simple games of chance.

Before the next lecture I expect student to have built a slot machine by extending the examples provided.

I may ask a few students to send me their working slot machine in advance of the lecture and ask them to talk us through it.

SOFT6007 Week 01 Recap

Good job guys!

I asked a lot of you in the labs this week, but I was keen for us to make a start. Don't worry if the Nested List was a bit tricky just give it some time over the weekend. The important thing about HTML is the structure. It's all about the structure.

Get used to using the validator at validator.w3.org

We looked at
structure of a HTML document
strong and em [51]
links - a tag (relative & absolute paths) [77-84]
images - omg tag [99-100]
unordered lists [66]
ordered lists [65]
nested lists [68]


you can find more in the text book at the page [numbers] I've listed

Please find out about
Definition lists [67]

If you haven't got the nested list sorted please work on it over the weekend.

This video about using images in web pages might be useful.

We looked at

Links, relative paths

Lists, nested lists

I gave students an exercise on nested lists. But I think it was a bit soon for that. I think they need more time to digest it,
