2011 Coursework – Getting started
This weeks lessons are designed to help you get through the 2011 coursework software development task, which we are using as a mock assignment.
Solutions to 13/12/12 Starter Questions
Touch Screens & Digital Cameras
We all use touch screens on our phones but have you stopped recently to wonder how they wand why some are better than others?
While I am here, we covered digital cameras a couple of weeks ago here are some of the basics.
Mock Coursework
We are going to be working on the 2011 coursework as a sample task. This will also form your homework over the Christmas break.
