Course Overview Kenneth M Anderson University of Colorado Boulder CSCI 5828 Lecture 1 01 13 2009 University of Colorado 2008 1 Goals Survey software engineering concepts terminology and techniques Emphasis on Agile Design Methods Will supplement with traditional historical material as needed Take an in depth look at model based software engineering techniques for dealing with concurrency software abstractions 2 CAETE Announcements In Class Students CAETE has a busy studio schedule Be sure to exit promptly so next class can begin Food and drink are not technically allowed They are tolerated as long as you keep the studio clean Distance Students Textbooks can be ordered from the CU Bookstore Call 303 492 6411 or 800 255 9168 Or order on line at http cubooks colorado edu 3 Due Dates 4 In the past due dates for CAETE students were one week behind the due dates for in class students However now that lectures are being made available to you in a timely fashion both in class and distance students will have the same due dates CAETE students need to have a test proctor to administer the midterm for them If you don t know who your test proctor is contact CAETE to find out Do this during the first week of classes A bit about me Associate Professor At CU since July 1998 Ph D at UC Irvine Research Interests Software Engineering Hypermedia and the Web Web Engineering REST based Web Services 5 A little bit more 22nd semester at CU 5th time teaching CSCI 5828 Software Development Experience Approximately 16 systems 30K 100K LOC each Some industry experience with IBM Unisys Experience with academic industry collaboration 6 Class Participation I welcome contributions to the class by students both in lecture and off line Feel free to interrupt me during lecture to ask questions Stupid questions No such thing Engage in discussion otherwise we get the silent tomb effect Boring for you and me If I m speaking too fast stop me and ask me to slow down 7 Office Hours By appointment Send me e mail at kena cs colorado edu Will most likely meet with students in ECCS 127 or in the faculty lounge on the 7th floor of the ECOT 8 Class Website 9 Has a What s New page with an RSS feed that you can use to stay current with all course announcements http www cs colorado edu kena classes 5828 s09 Textbooks Head First Software Development Dan Pilone Russ Miles First Published Jan 2008 Published by O Reilly Lots of great examples decidedly non academic feel but covers all the essentials Will supplement with other material throughout semester 10 Textbooks Concurrency by Magee and Kramer aka The Two Jeffs Every developer needs to understand concurrency This book does an excellent job covering this topic with a software engineering perspective 11 Software Abstractions Textbooks Daniel Jackson softwareabstractions org This book introduces a novel way of thinking about software abstractions and introduces the Alloy toolset for defining analyzing them Book is optional but highly recommended 12 Structure of Semester 13 The course will switch between the first two topics providing an introduction to software engineering one day and looking at issues of concurrency the next We ll switch to looking at software abstractions later in the semester May also look at additional topics later in the semester Additional agile design methods Web engineering Course Evaluation 14 Your grade will be determined by your work on Reviews simple questions to make sure you do the reading One a week with possible grades of or Homeworks typically problems from Concurrency textbook Midterm Tuesday March 3rd Class Project Due at last class session student teams NO FINAL Honor Code 15 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 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 Late Policy 16 Assignments submitted late incur a 20 penalty Assignments can be handed in up to two weeks after the initial due date except for the final assignment of the class project after that you are out of luck This does not apply to reviews They are due each Saturday by 11 55 PM If you don t submit a review it counts as a minus What is Software Engineering 17 The computer science discipline concerned with developing large applications Software engineering covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems but also management issues such as directing programming teams scheduling and budgeting What is Software Engineering Software Computer programs and their related artifacts e g requirements documents design documents test cases UI guidelines usability tests Engineering The application of scientific principles in the context of practical constraints Consider Chemist versus Chemical Engineer 18 What is Software Engineering What is Engineering Engineering is a sequence of well defined precisely stated sound steps which follow a method or apply a technique based on some combination of theoretical results derived from a formal model empirical adjustments for unmodeled phenomenon rules of thumb based on experience This definition is independent of purpose i e engineering can be applied to many disciplines 19 What is Software Engineering 20 Software engineering is that form of engineering that applies a systematic disciplined quantifiable approach the principles of computer science design engineering management mathematics psychology sociology and other disciplines to creating developing operating and maintaining costeffective reliably correct high quality solutions to software problems Daniel M Berry What is Software Engineering 21 Issues of Scale Software engineers care about developing techniques that enable the construction of large scale software systems Issues of Communication Consider the set of tools provided by sites like Assembla com Issues of Regulation Other engineering disciplines require certification should SE Issue of Design dealing with integration of software hardware process Types of Software Dev Desktop Application Development Contract Software Development Consulting Mobile Application Development Web Engineering Development of Web Applications Military Software Development Open Source Software Development Others These categories are not orthogonal 22 SE related Jobs 23 Software Developer DBA Software Engineer Sysadmin SQA
