Jan 26, 2007: Due to the fact that we are running slightly behind in terms of lecture schedule, certain changes in the project deliverables seem necessary to give you sufficient time between the day the material is covered in the class and the due date of a submission based on that material.
The due date for the first part Domain Models of the next project deliverable "First Iteration Domain Models and System Sequence Diagrams" is moved to next Wednesday, January 31, 2007, although you are welcome to send in submissions via e-mail on Monday or earlier. The cutoff time remains the same 11:59 PM on the day of the submission.
The due date for second part System Sequence Diagrams is moved to Monday, Feb 5, 2007. By that time, we would cover system sequence diagrams in sufficient detail for you to be able to complete them for your projects.
Jan 25, 2007: Homework 2 is available now from here. It is due on or before Friday Feb 2, 2007, 11:59 PM.

Course Objectives
In this class, we will ask several questions and try to find answers together.
Why design? Why appreciate software design as a process? Is it critical?
What were the design approaches before object-oriented design? What is object-oriented design? What are the design approaches beyond object-oriented design?
What is a good design? How do you differentiate between a good and a bad design? What are the important characteristics of a good design?
How to design? Are there recipes to common design problems?
Etc.
It is going to be a highly interactive class, where you will bring your own issues about design and learn from issues encountered by others.
This course is:
NOT a course on object-oriented programming, you are expected to have an intermediate knowledge of an object-oriented programming language such as C# or JAVA. If you do not, please refer to Ken Arnold and James Gosling and David Holmes. The Java Programming Language Fourth Edition. Addison-Wesley, Reading, Mass.
NOT a course on software processes, however, we will learn just enough about them to use them in course projects.
NOT a course on data structures/algorithms. Com S 228 is a pre-requisite for this course
