Welcome
- What’s better than to start the semester with a quiz?
Logistics heads-up:
- Using Reddit for forum discussion and Q&A support
- Using Discord and Github organizations with previous members
- Everything online this semester, will meet on live video on Discord
- Any problems, potential issues?
What’s happening?
Welcome Soft Dev 1 students
- Projects, working with external clients (mostly GGC faculty/students)
- 3 phases of project work, peer review in each with dire consequences…
- 2 take-home exams about project work and many pop-up quizzes for textbook/slides knowledge
- Few small assignments
- Few team presentations
- Individual presentations for team role, article, and/or software tool
Tool/article presentations
Throughout semester I’ll let you research topics so we all learn more about options out there:
- Each student will pick one item in any of the topics by a given deadline
- You will give a presentation in class and post your summary
- After everyone presents for one topic, we discuss in class
Topics will be posted later, but will include:
- Tools: Web frameworks (MEAN, .Net, JSP/JSF, PHP, …), Frontend frameworks (jQuery, Bootstrap, …), IDEs, Version control software (git, mercurial, …) and online portals (Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab, …), Project tracking tools (JIRA, Trello, Pivotal Tracker, Rally, Version One, …), Database engines (MySQL, PostGreSQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, …)
- Articles: Influential articles, novel technologies, arguments, career topics, etc.
