Spring is just around the corner (cough), and so is CSC 457. This is just a sneak peak... terms are subject to change. 

Our 457 journey... so you want to create quality code:

• Design: object-oriented design practices and design patterns
• Implementation: practice of good programmers, I especially like a lot of the stuff in  "Code Complete" by McConnell
• Testing: unit testing, test coverage, profiling, etc.
• Measurement: code complexity, statistical analysis of program performance, our primary source for this area will be the text required for the course
• Tools: software out there to support your software development... we'll try and do one a week

The syllabus link above is live, so you can absorb that as well.

Email me if you have any questions about this future fun, I mean, course.

thanks... yow, bill
