Spring 2009 courses

• CS 4310 Software Engineering I
  syllabus
• CS 6310 Advanced Software Engineering
  syllabus
• CS 6660 Database Systems
  syllabus

Winter 2009 courses, prerequisites, texts:

• CS 2360 Programming Methods and Intro to Software Engineering
  syllabus
  Text: Gaddis, Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects, 6th ed.
  Prerequisites: C- or better in CS 1160
• CS 4660 Database Architecture
  syllabus
  Text: Ramakrishnan/Gehrke, Database Management Systems, ISBN 0072465638, McGraw-Hill is the official text. That said, any of the standard texts (for example, Date, Silberschatz or Ullman) should be fine, and the latest edition is not mandatory.
  Prerequisites: CS 3240 Data Structures. You should be comfortable dealing with trees.
  Software: I will be using Postgres, which is not on our machines here, but is free, a relatively small download, and really includes a lot of the features that form the core of the commercial options. We will also do a bit of PHP for providing a nicer interface to the database, and that will require downloading and installing Apache, though you would only be doing the project for your local machine.
• CS 6660 Database Systems
  syllabus
  Text: One of the database texts mentioned for CS 4660 is helpful for reviewing concepts if it has been a while.
  Prerequisites: relational database concepts (as in CS 4660), operating system concepts like mutual exclusion, file system management (as in CS 4560) are helpful as well. There is some programming in here, with object-oriented concepts as you would get in CS 3340, 4311 being helpful, too
  Software: I will be using Oracle. The department will provide accounts on the school system, but you may find it convenient to download Oracle. In particular Oracle XE is a reasonable-sized download and includes most features. The data mining feature is the main missing component of the ones we will use.
