This web page is but an initial portal. The authoritative class web site is on GitHub:
cs148.github.io - We have a GauchoSpace course page for initial coordination and for grade dissemination.
- We are deciding among different online project coordination systems (Discord, Slack, Piazza, Trello, ...) and will invite you through GauchoSpace as soon as any of these come into play.
Course Description
CS 148 is about "programming in the large" - how to design, implement and test large programs. The emphasis is on learning by doing, and students will spend most of their time on problems related to their group projects (and less time on traditional homework assignments. The homeworks are mostly about the "process", i.e. agile project management). Along the way, CS 148 will help you learn: the phases of a software project, and experience working in teams, basics of object-oriented analysis and design, including design patterns user interface principles and tips for satisfying clients automated system build and testing strategies, UML, version control and more ...
