Terrific (and relevant) xkcd comic today
Check out today’s xkcd for a comic that highlights one of the issues I’ve discussed in class! Thanks to Ben for sending this to me.
Software Engineering Presentation
Details about the software engineering presentation have been posted. Topics are due to me by Thursday on Week 6 (next week). Presentations are due by Thursday of Week 10.
Updated Reading List
I made a few changes to the reading list with respect to my plans for this week’s lectures. I’ll be covering chapters 4 and 5 of the user stories textbook on Tuesday and chapters 6 and 7 on Thursday. Please plan accordingly!
Reading List
I have now added a reading list to the website that is based on the information originally listed on Slide 10 of Lecture 1. I’ll update the reading list to reflect our progress throughout the semester. The info that is currently shown in the later weeks of the semester simply reflects my intentions. As you saw with week 3, sometimes my lectures will not match my intentions!
Sample Code from Lecture 4
The sample code that I discussed in Lecture 4 is now available. Note: I’m not allowed to distribute source code associated with our concurrency textbooks. You can get that code yourself from the Pragmatic website.
Homework 3
Homework 3 is now available. It makes reference to some slides in Lecture 7. I’ll have Lecture 7 posted (relatively) soon!
Lecture 6 Updated
I have posted a new version of the PDF file for Lecture 6. It fixes some of the typos I corrected during lecture and updates the title page to have the correct date and lecture number.
D2L Dropbox for Homework 2
I have now created a “dropbox” on the D2L website for Homework 2. You can now upload your submissions for that assignment.
