Week 15: More Second Life

Introduction

This week will be the last lesson that we'll be covering this topic since we commonly decided that it's best to focus on other subjects during the last sessions for this semester. We are still to create the objects necessary for the second life coursework though. We also experimented a little bit more with scripting on objects while cruising from one place to another

Skype Connection

One of our classmates was in Costa Rica during this lesson so he decided to join the class using skype video conversation to follow parts of the class. I must say that it was quite a pleasant experience and although we experienced some 2 second lag it worked perfectly altogether. The only problem was that due to the laptop being connected to skype was on the teacher's desk so Kurt couldn't hear us clearly.

Topic Decision
As already mentioned in the introduction, we decided to cover some new topics in the upcoming lessons which are outlined in this list:

1. HTML5, Javascript, CSS

2. Mobile web development
3. Facebook development
4. Custom PHP libraries
5. Cloud Computing
6. Web Security

Conclusion

The upcoming sessions will be pretty interesting since we will cover some new technology & will help us learn them & hopefully impliment something useful with the knowledge. The topics that I'm most interested in are Mobile web development and Facebook development because I always wanted to find some time to cover up these topics but never found enough time to do so.
