Class plan.png What are we going to learn today?[edit]

Hello Class!

  • review introductions
  • setup many different tools:
    • sublime (confirm you have it, put it in your dock)
    • iterm (confirm you have it, put it in your dock)
    • your monitors / video cables / setting up monitor arrangement
    • jetbrains IDE (click here for download link for phpstorm)
    • google classroom (click here, click the plus button, and then enter code: c7ghy8)
    • bookmark class wiki
    • register for class wiki
    • connect to linux server, 85.90.244.131
    • code the following PHP constructions:
      • condition, loop, array
      • Write this application, It will essentially issue a fake parking ticket:
A car park has two barriers. One barrier is at the entrance, where tickets are issued, and one barrier is at the exit, where paid tickets are checked when cars leave. A display at the entrance, showing the current availability of spaces in the car park, is updated as tickets are issued and checked.
The actions of issuing, paying and checking a ticket operate on the collection of objects, TICKETS, that is organized as a linked list. Each object holds the following information:

Nr: ticket number (a progressive unique identifer) 
Date: date of issue
Arrival: time of issue (in 24-hour format) 
PaidOn: date of payment
PaidAt: time of payment (in 24-hour format).

Target.png How am I being assessed today?[edit]

I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I normally record my observations in a "evidence of learning" spreadsheet, which I will happily share with you privately if you so wish. I usually need a day or two notice.
