| Week #15 Week of December 11th |
The plan is for Erik or I to be available Monday 11:00 to 4ish, Tuesday 9:30 to 4ish, Thursday 9:30 to 6. I say 4ish because we are
planning to stay until 2 definitely and then 2 to 4 is dependent on people being there for help. So if you need help during the 2-4 be sure
to speak to one of us or email one of us. You need to submit your final proposal. The final is due on Tuesday, December 19th This status sheet must be turned in before or with the final exam. Required status sheet |
| Week #14 Week of December 4th |
Some alum are coming to talk about IT careers on Thursday in my 11 and 12:30 classes and one who could not make it
is coming at around 11:30 on Tuesday. You are welcome to attend in K101. Your project/final is to bring together some of the things that you looked at this semester or do a more far reaching project using at least two of the areas we went over. You need to submit your project for approval and tell me what you will do. The project should be more complex then a weekly assignment since it counts about twice plus as much. Pass in what you have and note that even the things I sent back get partial credit when I calculate grades. This status sheet must be turned in before or with the final exam. Required status sheet |
| Week #13 Week of November 27th |

I know several have asked about editors so I thought I would pass it on. Assignments: Set up payroll data using JSON. You should have information about employee, pay, job, medical and you should have three different deductions where you need to specify the type and the amount and eamil where you have work and personal. Set up at least 3 employees and then access and print out the information from one of the records and all of the records.

| Week #5 Week of October 2nd |
We are going to start looking at JQuery. One of the books I really like is available at it-ebooks (thanks Sandy!),
it is JavaScript and jQuery the missing manual by David McFarland. The address to download is:
JavaScript and jQuery There are a lot of examples zipped up under examples and some pdf files to accompany them under presentations. There is a lot on YouTube as well - I like Little Web Hut and JQuery Tutorials Playlist and I have found some others but don't remember their names. Assignments: Week #5 Assignment: Look at the JQuery JavaScript covered through the basic3 set in my examples. Pick a variety of the things that I illustrate and try them out. I want you to try a lot of the things that look more complex. I want you to write 15 different things and test them (multiple in one js for all our sakes) and I want you to copy the js you write onto a document and send the document along with the working html and js code. In other words, I want you to experiment. |
| Week #4 Week of September 25th |
Continue with JQuery Mobile. You should look at the rest of the examples that I have and also do some research
on your own. Check back! Assignments: JQuery Mobile and php |
| Week #3 Week of September 18th |
I would like you to do some research on how to integrate both background images (background to a division etc) or regular
images effectively into a page that will work on all sizes of media. Then show me your results. We are now going to move on to looking at JQuery Mobile. Look at the examples under basic examples to get started and second group of basic examples. The zipped examples are there and there are accompanying Smartboard pdf files that cover some of the things. JQuery Mobile site There are a lot of excellent JQuery Mobile tutorials at YouTube. Experiment a little! RWD and jQuery mobile are two ways to write code usable on mobile devices. A book I found really helpful when I was starting to learn JQuery Mobile is jQuery Mobile First Look by Giulio Bai. Look around on the web for information about it if you are interested. You should look at my examples (I have included everything I am asking you to work with) and my accompanying pdf files examples. Assignments: First: Show me what you came up with for the background image experimenting I asked you to do. Second: JQuery Mobile basic assignment |
| Week #2 Week of September 11th |
Continue reading about and reading RWD both at sites and on youtube, there is a lot of
interesting information. I would like you to do some research on how to integrate both background images (background to a division etc) or regular images effectively into a page that will work on all sizes of media. Then show me your results. (second assignment below) Assignments: Your first assignment is to draw your own original layout of 8 or more boxes (include some images) and the arrangement they would have at different screen sizes and then implement your design. The current wisdom is to start out with the smaller device and move to the bigger. Your second assignment is to make a RWD page that is inspired by the research you have done. I want something reasonably complex and it should include one or more images and a background image. Your third assignment is to look up UX Design and send me a page explaining what you found. Check back! |
| Week #1 Week of September 4th |
Please read some of the articles on Responsive Web Design that I have listed under links and presentations. Definitely listen to the first two videos I have posted under links I would also suggest looking at some other videos at YouTube and looking at my examples and the presentation. Look at the W3 schools information on Responsive Web Design. Find two more articles or videos on Responsive Web Design and tellme the addresses. Assignments: First: I want you to experiment with writing a page that decreases columns and changes other aspects of the page. Essentially experiment with something that would work on full screen, on a pad and on a phone. Second: Changing layout Your next assignment is to create a page that shows the 6 boxes and their movement as the screen increases and decreases. Follow the images on the pdf. Third: Write a third page that experiments with other layout changes that you encounter in your research. Please include an image that diminishes in size to fit the layout. |
