課程概述 |
This course introduces a selection of theories and practices that, we believe, will enhance the student's ability in developing correct and high-quality software. The view taken here is that of an engineer (programmer, software engineer, or software architect) and hence the focus of the course is primarily on the technical aspects of software development process. We will start with an overview of the typical software development process and relevant issues and then study in greater details some fundamental elements of software modeling, design, and verification, along with several software productivity tools and development practices. To practice applying these methods and tools, we will carry out a term project that involves the development of a large Web application. We will also study Web application programming techniques and security, to better prepare for the project. |
