Introduction To Software Engineering

This repo contains an archive of a 3rd year software engineering course, designed and taught by Joey Freund, at the University of Toronto.

The goal of the course is to give university students a glimpse into the world of practical software engineering. In this course, we discussed 4 different topics/issues.

Code Collaboration	Team Management	Product Design	Software Architecture
Lecture 1	Lecture 2	Lecture 3	Lecture 4
Tutorial	Lecture 5	User stories to OO design	DAO - Code Example
		Lecture 6	OO design to code
		Lecture 7	Lecture 5
			Builder - Code Example
			Abstract Factory - Code Example
			Lecture 8
			Observers & Adapters - Code Example
			MVC - Code Example
			Lecture 9
			Logging Library - Code Example

In addition to the lectures and tutorials, we had the pleasure of having two guest lectures:

• Xavier Snelgrove from Whirlscape talked about his experience founding and growing a startup, and competing in a high-visibility consumer space.
• Nahim Nasser & Mark Reale from BNotion talked about their journey, starting as "a bunch of friends in a garage" and becoming one of Toronto's leading software shops.

Course Work

• A short programming exercise (see solution), to be done in teams.
  The goal of the exercise was to give students a chance to:
  • Brush up their programming skills (Java and basic Object-Oriented concepts in particular).
  • Work in a team.
  • Get used to using GitHub.
• An 8-week long project.
  • The project was delivered in 4 phases (handout 1, 2, 3 and 4) that focused on different aspects of software engineering.
  • See this repo for as an example of a final project.
