Thanks once again go to Carl who typed up the answers I gave out in session for me; if these differ from what you've got written down then that's because of corrections made based on Julia's answers.

 

Hope you're all well!

If you didn't attend, note the way the content resizes based on the size of your browser, also check out how the navigation works via CSS Sprites.

Have a go at making a fluid design yourself and play around with percentages. You'll have noticed I changed the image on the page, this was because the other image is copyright- you should always watch out for that!

I also noted a lot of people this week who haven't got themselves the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox, link below! Ctrl+Shift+E to edit CSS live on page :)

Remember when creating the music feature on your Media Tech sites, that there are plenty of standard Flash playback buttons available under Window/Common Libraries/Buttons in the main Flash window. The ActionScript used is available by right clicking the frame and selecting actions, or right clicking any of the buttons and doing the same.

Also included is an RSS feed with the tags explained, this is basically to show you as requested how to construct an RSS feed for your own websites, why not have a go?

Just like XHTML and CSS, the W3C offer a validator for RSS, you can find the link below.

A quick note about last week, when using the Flickr API remember to keep it legal: link back to the Flickr photo you're using and also take note of licensing; most photos are Creative Commons Share-Alike, meaning you merely have to say who the author was, but some are banned from commerical use and some are fully copyright, so don't use them at all! There are options in the Flickr API to ignore those photos.

I hate to remind you that if you're on bSC Web Design; your Systems Development exam is coming up on the 23rd. At last as requested I have uploaded the sample paper answers (or at least some of them) that we went over in the Christmas PAL Session last year.

Sorry about the delay with these but I left my answer sheet in Bristol; these come to you thanks to Carl so remember to buy him a pint when you next see him!

Hope you're all well!
Steve

Next week I'll be helping you with some of the more advanced SQL tasks you will have to be doing to finish off your WebAir sites. I'll also help out putting the finshing touches on any ITTW work you've done.

I've zipped up everything I think you'll need to have a play with them, let me know if you have any problems and or questions.

Sorry if the sessions this week were a bit too complex for some of you guys, hopefully looking through the materials I've uploaded will help, I'll try tone it down to some more basic topics this week. Post on the UWE Ning site any problems you're having or anything you want covering!

I'll add the muffins site to my portfolio page at some point later.

]]> http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-7.html http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-7.html 2008-11-12T00:00:00+00:00 Week 6 Not a major update since I didn't use my laptop much in this weeks sessions. However I've linked to the PHP example I used in Monday's session (I'll go over it next week with Tuesday session) and the exam paper from last year.

You can also obtain exam papers from previous years by logging into the UWE eLibrary, they can be found in CEMS -> Introduction to the Web.

Tony has updated his materials for the coming weeks from that of last year. So next week I'm pleased to say we'll be looking at amongst other things, AJAX.

]]> http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-6.html http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-6.html 2008-11-05T00:00:00+00:00 Week 5 Awesome, I actually updated the site quickly so that you guys have a chance of remembering what I went on about in the session!

Make sure you check out the PHP, understand how it works and look at the source txt files so you can see how I wrote them. Remember that you cannot simply locally run PHP locally, upload your files to your personal webspace at uwe (milly server). Then run them via http://cems.uwe.ac.uk/~yourname/something.php.

]]> http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-5.html http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-5.html 2008-10-29T00:00:00+00:00 Week 4 Whoops, I'm getting terrible at uploading this stuff now! Here's all the materials from the sessions this week. See you at the next session!

Also you can see below links to the exported blog samples that I mentioned I'd be putting up in the last session, have a flick through- hopefully will give you some insight into what you should be putting in your blog entries, + some of them are quite amusing!

]]> http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-4.html http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-4.html 2008-10-22T00:00:00+01:00 Week 3 Sorry about the slow update, been a bit snowed under with my own work and setting up my new laptop. Below is all the stuff used in the sessions this week as usual.

Next week: JavaScript & Forms / Processing Form Input

]]> http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-3.html http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-3.html 2008-10-15T00:00:00+01:00 Week 2 Hey guys, sorry about the delay, been a bit busy; here are all the materials I used in the sessions this week, if you have any questions send them through to the usual email; I'm thinking of setting up a small commenting system on here like on my blog so that you can leave messages much more easily.

Also don't forget to track me down on Facebook, if enough of you add me I'll create a group or something so you can discuss the sessions and what YOU want to talk about in them.

You may notice some of the examples looking slightly... improved, especially those in the Monday session hehe. Also if you're interested in learning more about the JavaScript example I used this week 'external', it's infact running on this page (javascript.js) used on the sample links above :)

Also back to a quick thing I skimmed over in the sessions, here is a direct link to the image used to render the links in the footer of my website. Why not use the FireFox Web Developer toolbar to have a look at the CSS on my site (Ctrl+Shift+E); and work out how I did it! Hint: It's right at the bottom of style.css!

Next week we'll be covering JavaScript! Why not find something interesting done in JavaScript on a website that you use? We'll discuss in the session.

]]> http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-2.html http://stevelacey.net/pal/week-2.html 2008-10-08T00:00:00+01:00 Week 1 Hi, Welcome to the PAL area of SteveLacey.net; to have got here you've probably met me in one of the scheduled PAL sessions, but if not- feel free to come along to one of the session ran on Mondays at 2:30 and Tuesdays 12:30 in 2P39.

My name is Steve, I'm the PAL Leader for the Introduction to the Web module of your course. In the sessions we will be covering the module criteria and hopefully I'll be able to help you understand anything that you may have got lost on during lectures.
