Part 1 - talk on using Creative Commons and opensource software to make Open Content (what is creative commons ?, what is open content ?)

This is the first part of a 2 part video from my talk in May 2008 on open source content creation.

Part 2 - talk on using Creative Commons and opensource software to make Open Content. (Making of Doljer)

This is the second part of a 2 part video from my talk in May 2008 on open source content creation. Here I am talking about the Making of Doljer

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.

Software Engineering Models

This presentation gives a high level introduction to modelling in software engineering. It looks in detail at how to model behaviour, in particular using UML Activity Diagrams.

Team Quintinlessness: Open source software resource set

INFO2009 Assignment 2 reference list for team "Quintinlessness" - Subject: Open source software

Software for identifying bacteria - PIBWin

The PIBWin programme provides probabilistic identification of unknown bacterial isolates against identification matrices of known strains. Bryant TN. PIBWin - software for probabilistic identification. Journal of Applied Microbiololgy. 2004;97(6):1326-7.

Wiki Software Comparison (eHandbook)

Comparison of brand-leading 'Wiki' sofware packages with respect to implementation of Wiki-style electronic resource for handbooks.

Programming & Software

An overview of programming and software development.

INFO2009 Group 1 -- Open Source Software Licensing Infographic

An infographic for open source software licensing. This resource can serve as a simple introduction to open source software licensing, and as a reference for future use.

Programming Principles: Software Design

In this session we look at some of the basics of good code design, including avoiding duplication and designing for loose coupling and high cohesion.

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.

INFO2009 resource: Infographic on the evolution of Open Source Software

Infographic providing a timeline of important events in the history of open source software since the fifties. Also includes stats for OSS licenses, usage in Business and reasons for participating in an OSS community.

IRP Poster - Side-effects in Software Transactional Memory

Poster for IRP project 'Side-effects in Software Transactional Memory: Extending Deuce with TwilightSTM'

Software Development Life Cycles and process models

This presentation describes the evolution of SDLCs from the first formally proposed linear models including, the Waterfall (Royce 1970) through to iterative prototyping models (Spiral and Win-Win Spiral) and incremental, iterative models used in Agile Methods. We discuss the problems iinherent in ech prpoosal and how successive models attempt to solve them.
