The Psychology Of A One-Hit Wonder
Teaching BIT2856 is probably a one-shot deal for me this quarter. I'm only teaching because Dr. Brian
Bansenauer, who normally teaches this class, is gone Winter Quarter on a limited sabbatical and then will be
spending half-a-quarter teaching inNOT TEACHING THE COURSE RIGHT NOW. As such, as I have never taught this
class before and won’t teach it until this quarter next year, the earliest. Also, have I mentioned that I’m teaching
4 courses (instead of the normal 3) AND that it’s been a while since I’ve taught BIT 116?
This does not mean that I'm going to be giving you a shoddy product—only that this class is going to be more
‘student driven’ than, say BIT 142/143 (which I’ve taught over an over for years, and as a result now have
excruciatingly detailed instructions for those classes.
I will be counting on each of you more than usual to help me take up the stretches of slack or outright gaps. This
means that we're all in the same boat together, and we are all expected to help each other out. So: we must all
work together, or risk falling together. Capisce?
*The Fine Print
The Big Idea
This course is being split down the middle:
1)Project management / software engineering (SE) lite
In ASP.Net WebForms
2) MVC (ASP.Net MVC, then later Angular.js)
• The plan is to alternate between SE and tech lessons
• This way you’ll have some time to complete the SE work outside of class
• Many of the SE lessons will have in-class work that you’ll need to finish outside
of class for the points
• The SE lessons will be mostly/all group work – each group can hand in a
single copy of the work
Building something
in ASP.Net Web Forms
Sofware Requirements Spec (SRS)
Software Design Doc (SDD)
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Learn MVC
ASP.Net MVC
(Entity Framework?)
Test Plan
Implementation + Test
Angular.js
Do this again using an Agile method
Any Questions So Far?
Software Engineering / Project Management
1. It’s important to have some systematic approach
• Even if it’s the wrong one for your project it can still serve as a starting point
for discussing pros/cons & finding a better one
• We’re going with an amalgamation of stuff 
2. It won’t write the software for you
• It’s a process to make sure that you dot your i’s and cross your t’s
• It’ll keep you organized while working through the project
• But you still need to know which technologies to use, when, why, and how
Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
• “A software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to
be developed, laying out functional and non-functional requirements, and may include
a set of use cases that describe interactions the users will have with the software.” –
Wikipedia
• “In software engineering (and systems engineering), a functional requirement defines a function of
a system and its components. A function is described as a set of inputs, the behavior, and outputs
(see also software).” -Wikipedia
• “a non-functional requirement is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the
operation of a system, rather than specific behaviors” -Wikipedia
