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:
The lecture slides will mostly come from the Sommerville textbook's companion website plus a few changes of my own. The originals can be downloaded from companion website
Some lectures will also be taken from Fox and Patterson (aka ESaaS book) and Bruegge and Dutoit (aka OOSE book).
The lecture slides will be posted on Canvas.
