Speed coding is fun

In hindsight though, your first meeting with the class should have laid down deadlines and coding examples

They knew nothing about what they were even supposed to do... at first all they could talk about was 'Flash this' and 'Flash that' and 'videos' (until I explained to them the impracticalities, expenses and lack of streaming support on the webspace we had been allotted).
They couldn't decide what kind of site they wanted, either... so in the end, I had to decide for them

Oh, and the meetings were organised in rooms without computers. Which was a great help...

Probably more of a help than you'd think. Just try imagining keeping there attention in a room full of computers

There is a problem with stuff like Flash, most users have no idea about the amount of space/time it taes to use. It's fine if you've got a good connection, or if you're intending for the final piece to be loaded off a cd, but downloaded? nah. Thankfully with the site I'm working at the mo the guy knows a little, not much mind, and got messed about by the person who did it originally. Now he's grateful merely or a site that works let alone anything extra I add
