FINAL Wrap Up

Tentative final grades for the class have been posted.

1. Several people are on the border between a B and an A-, or between an A- and A. For those people especially, if you haven't done portfolio #9 please do so by Thursday night. It could make a difference in your final grade.
2. If you handed something in that I didn't grade, or if you think I did something screwy let me know. (Just today I noticed I gave someone a 10 for something rather than the 100 I intended).
3. I think I graded fairly. It seems that people didn't get an A if they didn't turn in all their portfolios or if they didn't do a reasonable job on the portfolio.
4. I did distinguish point-wise between final projects, but that difference is a fairly insignificant part of your final grade.

Wrap Up

Portfolio 8

This is to be a short writeup of what you did for last week's presentation.

Portfolio 9

A write-up about your final project

Portfolio 9 is due next Thursday (30 April). All other portfolio write-ups are due this Saturday (25 April).

PCI Chapter 4 problems

Problem 1

I am assuming most of you are getting errors when you try to run the crawler code on the kiwitobes.com/wiki/Perl.html web page. It turns out that page is not valid html (I checked it with the w3c validator). There's a line with the following:

<a></div>

Unfortunately, Firefox fixes this problem so when you view source in Firefox it looks fine:

<a></a></div>

Darn that Firefox!

So the solution is to use some site other than kiwitobes.

Problem 2:

In gettextonly change v==Null to v==None (the book has this correct)

Caught up with grading

Finally, I think I am all caught up with grading. Sorry for the delay.
