Software Practice I
Completed: Fall 2022
Grade: A-
Course Description
Practical exposure to the process of creating large software systems, including requirements specifications, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Emphasis on software process, software tools (debuggers, profilers, source code repositories, test harnesses), software engineering techniques (time management, code, and documentation standards, source code management, object-oriented analysis and design), and team development practice. Much of the work will be in groups and will involve modifying preexisting software systems.
Reflection
This class was the 3rd major programming class I took in my degree. It was my first forey into languages other than Java, specficially C#. This class was more of a sequel to CS1420 than it was a continuation of the work done in CS2420. It focues on the idea of producing packages of code deemed software and saw a large projecty that took up the majority of the semesters workload. This class allowed me to hone my programming skills and become comfortable with the common idea that “Once you know one programming language you know them all.”
