The course focuses on the engineering and development of real-world software products. It provides a pragmatic introduction into the fundamentals of software engineering. Basics of software project management are presented and are practiced in the term project.
Students who complete this course will:
We will meet every Monday (except for two holidays) until August 8. The meeting times will primarily be used for class discussions as well as project discussions. To prepare for class discussions, the lecture materials will be uploaded and students will be expected to read them before the next meeting.
For the first few weeks of the summer, we will concentrate on the Engineering Software as a Service book, and will go through exercises to prepare you to do test-driven, Ruby-on-Rails projects.
