Building Software Solutions

This presentation explains how we move from a problem definition to an algorithmic solution using simple tools like noun verb analysis. It also looks at how we might judge the quality of a solution through coupling, cohesion and generalisation.

Programming Principles: Designing Applications

In this session we look at the how to use noun verb parsing to try and identify the building blocks of a problem, so that we can start to create object oriented solutions. We also look at some of the challenges of software engineering, and the processes that software engineers use to meet them, and finally we take a look at some more Design Patterns that may help us reuse well known and effective solutions in our own designs.

System Design: Using UML Use Cases

In this lecture we cover how UML Use Cases can be used for requirements capture. We look at the anatomy of a Use Case Description, and the way in which use cases can be brought together in a use case diagram. We also look at the way that use cases can be derived from problems using noun verb analysis.
