[PDF] Laboratory in Software Engineering (EECS 6170) Daniel Jackson, Rob Miller

Course is actually three courses in one:
? crash course in object-oriented programming
? software design in the medium
? studio course on team construction of software

Emphasis is on design. Programming is included because it’s a prerequisite; the project is included because you only really learn an idea when you try and use it.

You will learn:
? how to design software: powerful abstraction mechanisms; patterns that have been found to work well in practice; how to represent designs so you can communicate them and critique them
? how to implement in Java
? how to get it right: dependable, flexible software.
