MT262 - TMA03

Really getting into the swing of this course, and quite enjoying it. Results for TMA03 are back and I got a rather cool 97% - not bad for an uncool-nerd such as me. Now, regular readers (all two of you - you know who you are!) may remember that I prattled on a while back about how to lose marks - well, 'consistency' is my middle name [Ed: what foolish parents you must have] ..... two of the three marks I lost because the TMA said 'create a button and and put "Cancel" on it' (or words to that effect)...so what did I do...I put the word "Quit" on them instead. What a stupid, half-numbskulledvomitprovoking mistake to make. My tutor, quite correctly, docked me a point for each error.

But how did I manage to do that? It was there in black-and-white no-thinking-required [Ed: perhaps thats the problem Simon, no-thinking-required...no-thinking-performed].

TMA04 is underway is a great fun already!

"I put the word "Quit" on them"

Greg stuffs fist in mouth and feels deep empathy. Easy mistake to make and easier still to feel daft afterwards!
