Software Design teaches students how to design better software at a variety of different levels. Beginning at the algorithm level (in Unit 0) and up through functions (Unit 1), classes (Unit 2 and 3) and finally component and system design (Unit 4), Software Design helps students evaluate the quality of a design, come up with better designs, and appreciate good design when they see it. This is accomplished by providing tools with which students can capture design ideas, analyze designs, and communicate designs to other engineers. Software Design also provides a suite of metrics, each of which providing a lens through which they can see the benefits and deficits of various design options. Additionally, Software Design provides tools and techniques allowing students to build quality into their programs. Each of these tools and techniques build on each other in a carefully orchestrated progression. Finally, Software Design provides a collection of idioms, best practices, and design patterns there were carefully collected from researchers and practitioners the world over.

 

Ancillary Materials Include: 

  • Slide Decks for every chapter. These slides have:

    • All the examples in the textbook

    • All the exercises with solutions

    • All the problems with solutions

  • A growing library of videos for every chapter .
