Abstraction: From Transistors to Computers and from Bits to Programs

Takes the Tanenbaum (Structured Computer Organisation) approach to show how application of successive levels of abstraction allow us to understand how computers are made from transitors and how they are programmed.

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.
