Course material

The part on software engineering refers to the textbook: Eric J. Braude, Michael E. Bernstein, Software Engineering -- Modern Approaches, Second Edition, Wiley, 2011 (ISBN 978-0-471-69208-9).

The part on design patterns is based on: Eric Freeman, Elisabeth Freeman, Head First -- Design Patterns, O'Reilly, 2004 (ISBN 0-596-00712-4).

Treatment on SWT is taken from the University of Manitoba tutorials about basic widgets and layout managers. The bravest students can try advanced widgets.

The introduced development tools are described in the JUnit tutorial, in chapter 2 and chapter 4 (up to section «Advanced Merging» excluded) of the book Version Control with Subversion, as well as in tutorials Hg Init and An Introduction to the UNIX Make Utility.
