Final Class Project: Complete!
This tutorial seems to be defunct(broken) with the latest release of MooTools 1.0(01/31/2007) So please use this as a reference to understand how mootools works but the code I used in the video is no longer valid … I do plan on release an updated version of this video as well as a few others. I will update this post when that happens.
I have finally completed my project for CIM269a which is Beginner Javascript @ Saddleback College. My project was to use a framework and show it being used as well as giving an example of how it can be used in a real life scenario.
I used Mootools for the frameworks just because it looks to me like an easier to understand framework and the functions that are built in are just perfect. The size and feature are just right.
I created a Video Tutorial of how to apply an Accordion effect to div blocks in a page and create a hands on feel to the site. I did do my best on exampling how to do it as easily as possible in the video … It took me many tries to get the video just as close to perfect as I could.
If you enjoy and learn from the video fantastic that was my main goal and if you didn’t really enjoy it or learned something from it but maybe got 1% of something back from it then hey you know that makes me happy also.
A real quick note I noticed that Mootools is now at revision 7273 in the SVN repository revision 83 and I still have revision 70 in the projects file zip. There was no changes that would affect the tutorial or the files. I decided not to update what was in the zip file.
What are you waiting for?!?!?! Go download the video and project files already!
-> Video Download Mirror 1 (FAST)
-> Video Download Mirror 2 (FASTER)
-> Link to Video on Google Video (You will need Flash)
-> Project Files
-> My Personal School Homepage (which holds the real life scenario and other projects I have done or I am working on for school)
You will need something like 7zip or IZArc or anything else that handles the 7z format to extract the movie. Also you will need Quicktime or something that handles MOV files to play the video.
Have any questions on the video contact me or post a comment.
I hope to do more of these … I enjoyed doing it.
EDIT: I had to change the URL of my School site because I was deleted from their servers … so I am now hosting it on my site instead
