Workshop 10.09.14

Today the workshop was loose compared to previous classes. The class all worked on different things since DECO2300 had something due in 2 hours and apparently some people had that as their priority. Chinas not in my workshop but shes the in the one before mine (in the same room too), so sometimes she stays back and accompanies me in mine (not that i dont know anyone else in the class or anything). Today was one of those days where she stayed back. :)

Khoa went around and taught/guided people through different tasks that related to their work. Khoa taught China and I how to do a timer for our game which involved javascript/bootstrap/mouse click javascript/jQuery & textwrangler. China left 30 minutes into the lesson so she only watched up to the first few steps which was where that task was stopped anyway.
Some things we used (and never completed):
http://jquery.com/download/
http://getbootstrap.com/components/ 


During the lesson (well for the first 30 mins), China and I also communicated with Soobin and Bill via facebook about the paper prototypes for tomorrows contact class. We briefly discussed yesterday what we had to do but nothing was really assigned/no one volunteered to do anything until today. We agreed that one person should the whole task to keep it consistent.


Since our javascript skills were pretty low, Khoa was unsure where to start teaching us so he switched the tasks around a few several times - hence all the applications we opened and never completed above.
In the end, after China had left, Khoa showed me the Flicktwitter example that Lorna showed us during one of the previous lectures. There was a file that could be downloaded that allowed us to apply the same concept to any other application, and that was what Khoa wanted me to do to our Aussie Wild Challenge game. He said that the instructions were very clear and elaborated, which actually encouraged me to work hard this lesson without his help. I was expecting like a whole massive page with long steps. Honestly though, i didnt find the instructions to be that clear.

The instructions.
