======Software Development Methods, Fall 2012======
This course introduces a selection of theories and practices that, we believe, will enhance the student's ability in developing correct and high-quality software. Its goal is to acquaint the students with some of the well-used methods and tools for practical software development as well as some fundamentals of software verification, so as to prepare them for a career in software development. The view taken here is that of an engineer (programmer, software engineer, or software architect) and hence the focus of the course is primarily on the technical aspects of software development process.

===== Syllabus/Schedule (with links to slides/notes) =====
After an overview of the typical software development process and relevant issues, we will study the UML, several software productivity tools, design patterns, and some fundamental elements of formal software modeling and verification. To practice applying these methods and tools, we will carry out a term project that involves the development of a mobile application. The basics of mobile application development will also be covered in the course.
