Kapi’olani Community College Art 258 Interface Programming II In-class Presentation Week 13A

:: Calendar

:: Today’s Agenda 1st Drafts of your site are due today I will be going through each site on the big screen to see where you are. Did anyone do any of the tutorials posted last week? If so, do you have any questions about them? Notice: There is another new video tutorial posted on the class web site How to place flash into an html file using SWFObject I will not be demonstrating this tutorial in class today. Instead, I want you to do it on your own time, and come to our next class next week with any questions/problems. I will then assess how much time I need to dedicate to it in class. My goal is to optimize the amount of 1-1 meeting time during our class periods. I will always be available during office hours for extra questions/concerns. After all questions are answered, we can then spend the rest of class working on the final project and meeting 1-1.
