Knowing how to program does not make you a software engineer. The next step is to learn and practice the principles and techniques of professional software development. This course helps you climb it. It is an introduction to both:
Software architecture: methods for designing the structure of software systems, small or large, that will stand the test of time.
Software engineering: methods and tools, including non-programming aspects (project management, requirements analysis, human factors, metrics, software processes including agile methods) necessary for producing successful systems. The course relies on object technology and focuses on techniques that will scale up for large systems, with a strong emphasis on software quality.
The goal is to equip students with fundamental concepts and practices that will help them become professional software engineers, support them throughout their career, and make them stand away from ordinary programmers. The course includes a software project, emphasizing architectural and engineering skills.
The working programming language for most of the examples and for the project is Eiffel, a pure object-oriented language with a focus on software quality. Eiffel is easy to learn for anyone knowing, for example, C++, Java or C#, and the lessons of this course can be applied to those and any other programming language.
