Course Overview Kenneth M Anderson University of Colorado Boulder CSCI 5828 Lecture 1 01 15 2008 University of Colorado 2008 Wednesday January 16 2008 1 Goals of this Class I Survey traditional software engineering concepts terminology and techniques Take an in depth look at software engineering techniques for dealing with concurrency in software systems Also take a glance at Tim Bray s Wide Finder project and its associated issues Learn about Agile Design methods including Scrum and Extreme Programming Review the philosophy and techniques of a successful Web 2 0 company Wednesday January 16 2008 2 Goals of this Class II First topic ensures that a student new to software engineering leaves the course with a grasp of the basic concepts and tenets of the field Second topic provides students with an explicit example of how software engineering techniques can be used to tackle complex problem domains Relevant topic hardly a week goes buy without some mention of multicore computers and how they are changing the game on developers Single threaded Single process applications will soon be outshone by multi threaded multi process applications Consider an image processing example The latter two topics will provide the student with insight into how the field of software engineering is changing Wednesday January 16 2008 3 CAETE Announcements In Class Students CAETE has a busy studio schedule Be sure to exit promptly so next class can begin on time Food and Drink are not technically allowed Drinks are tolerated as long as you keep the studio clean Distance Students Textbooks can

assignments announcements etc Wednesday January 16 2008 10 Textbooks I Pfleeger and Atlee s Software Engineering Theory and Practice Our guide to traditional software engineering Well written and comprehensive Addresses art versus science debate with respect to developing softwarebased systems See for instance Undergraduate Programming written recently by Joel Spolsky Wednesday January 16 2008 11 Textbooks II Magee and Kramer s Concurrency State Models Java Programming aka The Two Jeffs Every developer needs to understand concurrency esp in a multi core world This book does an excellent job covering this topic with a software engineering perspective indeed it shows the power that lies in the techniques and tools of traditional software engineering Wednesday January 16 2008 12 Textbooks III The course will switch between the two topics presenting an intro to software engineering one day looking at the issues of modeling concurrency the next Please start reading the first two chapters of each text book Wednesday January 16 2008 13 Class Participation I welcome participation by students Feel free to interrupt me during lecture to ask questions Stupid Questions No such thing Discussion Silent Tomb Boring for me and you If I m speaking too fast stop me and ask me to slow down Wednesday January 16 2008 14 Teaching Philosophy sage on stage vs guide at your side Answering questions Sometimes the answer will be I don t know Current Tech I try to incorporate references to current technology in my teaching Ruby Python Ruby on Rails Django etc Bias I don t use Microsoft Windows and so have no experience with Net C Vista etc however I m not anti Microsoft and I will welcome student s use of and presentations about Microsoft technology Wednesday January 16 2008 15 Course Evaluation Your grade will be determined by your work on Reviews simple questions to make sure you do the reading One a week including this week grades or Review for this week will be posted tomorrow Will be on chapter 1 of the Pfleeger textbook Homeworks typically problems from the Concurrency textbook Midterm Tuesday March 4th in class by Tuesday March 11th CAETE Class Project Due at the last class session students will work in teams NO FINAL Wednesday January 16 2008 16 Moodle We will be using a Web based system called The Moodle to submit homework assignments You will need to enroll in the CSCI 5828 course Go to http moodle cs colorado edu If you do not have a moodle account create one Log in Click on All Classes button and look for CSCI 5828 for Spring 2008 Click on it and follow instructions to enroll You will need an enrollment key seTaPSpring2008 Wednesday January 16 2008 17 Honor Code I encourage collaboration in this class via the reviews and the class project I d like however for the homeworks and midterm to be worked on individually As such the honor code statement will be printed on each homework assignment and the midterm to remind you that collaboration is not allowed The Student Honor Code applies to classes in all CU schools and colleges You can learn about the honor code at http www colorado edu academics honorcode Wednesday January
