This presentation gives an overview of TIDT's development process at time of writitng in March 2016. We were and still are developing our process. It is an agile process based on DSDM and Scrum.

This is a batch file written to help students on ECS' Programming 1 course (COMP1202) using iSolutions machines which have the JDK, but do not add it to the PATH variable, making compilation from the command line difficult. It attempts to find the JDK directory and add it to the Windows PATH. The code is as follows: @SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java @FOR /F %%G IN ('DIR /B "%JAVA_HOME%\JDK*"') DO @SET JDK_HOME=%JAVA_HOME%\%%G @SET PATH=%JDK_HOME%\bin;%PATH% @javac -version @echo. @echo %JDK_HOME%\bin successfully added to Windows PATH @echo. @echo Now type 'javac'. @echo. @echo. @echo. @CMD

This is a set of slides and a tutorial exercise which we used to teach people the basics of RDF and how they can manipulate data in this format to make quite powerful web pages very simply. It is not intended as full introduction to RDF and it's subtleties the aim is to teach the very bare minimum to be able to do something quickly. It empowers programmers to go away and play with linked data.

I delivered this presentation at the CITE seminar on 5th of February 2013

An introduction to Vim and why I use it. This resource is the precursor to a technical walk through and code along using vim. During the talk I handed round a cheat sheet for vim which can be found at http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html You can find full documentation and a lot more indepth examples in the vim documentation: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/help.html

In the example code you can see that when the remove(Object o) method is called the Integer is not cast to an int and the matching is done using the object's .equals() method rather than using ==

A Seminar about the advantages of using open source licenses as a complimentary strategy to the academic publish process.

This is a presentation I put together to get students thinking about their digital university experience. The resulting discussions will be used to inform a survey sent out to all students to find out what parts of the digital university experience are important to them.
