Designing Solutions Through Programming block 1 Lesson Notes - September 11 2017

Our Big Idea The function of every web application system is to accept data, process data and output information. Effective design of interdependent components results in useful function.
What are we going to learn today? Hello Class! By the end of class you will be able to say: Review I can describe the difference between a local host and a remote host I can demonstrate how to connect to the school server in Frankfurt, Germany I can demonstrate how use the command line terms to navigate to my web directory I can demonstrate output text in PHP I can demonstrate declare variables in PHP New Learning I can define an html form I can describe the process of submitting a form (click here, please) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/Your_first_HTML_form https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/How_to_structure_an_HTML_form https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/The_native_form_widgets https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/Sending_and_retrieving_form_data	What is our homework? Find one web application (a web based application which accepts input, processes that input, and then outputs some information or data) and be prepared to share it with the class.
How am I being assessed today? 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.
As a computer scientist, you have: Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open-ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
