CPSC 329 Syllabus

Readings and class prep assignments are to be done for the class period where they are listed.

Fri	Reading: (available on Canvas) "A Survey of Agile Development Methodologies", L. Williams Class Prep: available on Canvas Slides: slides (version control, SVN)
Week 2: 9/5-9/9 Topics: working in teams; version control; understanding what the software is to do

Mon	-- meet in Rosenberg 009 -- Reading: Version Control with Subversion (version 1.8), chapters 1, 2, and 4 This is a lot of technical material, and it covers the commandline SVN client (we'll primarily be using a plugin for Eclipse instead). What this means: read for the concepts - what is the key terminology, what is Subversion's approach to version control, what are the operations, what is the typical workflow, what are the best practices - rather than the details of commands and syntax. Subversive User Guide (alternate link) This is also rather a lot of technical material, this time about Subversive, one of the Eclipse plugin SVN clients. It will also be less meaningful until you are sitting in front of Eclipse actually using Subversive (which will happen in class), but it is still worth reading through it for the concepts - how do the SVN concepts of import, update, commit, etc and the typical workflow translate into the Subversive interface. In Class: Introduction to Subversive
