Welcome to the course webpage for the summer 2009 term of CSC207H: Software Design, taught by Jonathan Lung. Here is the course description:
An introduction to software design and development concepts, methods, and tools using a statically-typed object-oriented programming language such as Java.
Topics from: version control, build management, unit testing, refactoring, design patterns, advanced IDE usage, regular expressions, markup languages, parsing using finite state machines, and reflection.
We want you to learn the following:
There will be other topics, but I consider these the core components of CSC207H.
The course is delivered through 2 lecture hours a week plus 1-hour tutorials that will take place in computer labs.
Outside of class and tutorials, you will also complete a set of four small exercises, two assignments, and a multi-phase project. The project will be done in a team of four or five students; I will form the teams. There is also a midterm and a final exam. This is covered in much more detail in the course information sheet.
The following applies to exercise tutorials only:
Last names beginning with A-N in BA3175
Last names begging with O-Z in BA3195
You should have a Java reference. On-line references such as the J2SE tutorial tutorial from Sun Microsystems will suffice. If you don't have one, we recommend Developing Java Software, 3rd Edition, by Winder and Roberts.
