General Information
Prerequisites
- This is not an introductory course on
Java programming. Students must have experience in programming and debugging
object-oriented software (e.g., Java and C++). Programming exercises
in CS414 use Java. Our department uses Java in many courses (CS160, CS161,
CS200, CS314, etc), so students are expected to be
proficient in Java programming.
- Students are expected to know the basics of software engineering as
taught in an undergraduate course using a text such as
- Lethbridge and Laganiere, "Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Practical software development using UML and Java"
- Pressman, "Software Engineering: A Practitioners Approach"
- Somerville, "Software Engineering"
- A good understanding of discrete math and logic including first-order
predicate calculus is expected (CS 166), and data structures (CS 200).
CS 200 and CS 253 are prerequisites to CS 314 which is a prerequisite to
this course.
Important Notices
You must have a Colorado State University eIdentity (eID), before you can be installed into the CS414 RamCT courseware system. The CS414 RamCT page will have all of the course notes, assignments, discussions, and exams, so it is very important for you to be installed on this system. Visit the eIdentity and eServices web page to get your eID. You will not be able to take part in the course until you have an eID.
Once the semester starts, communication with the instructors must be done by emailing us at cs414@cs.colostate.edu. Before the semester starts, you can send email directly to Prof. Ghosh.
The first day of "class" is Monday, August 22. Be ready to start then. Go to the RamCT calendar to view the weekly schedule. The on-campus class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will post video recordings of the on-campus lectures for the benefit of the distance students.
