# Computer Science 280 Fall 2015

This repository contains the LaTeX and HTML source code for the laboratory and practical assignments, course review
slides, study guides, and the syllabus for Computer Science 280, Fall 2015. Taught by [Gregory M.
Kapfhammer](http://www.cs.allegheny.edu/sites/gkapfham) in the [Department of Computer
Science](http://www.cs.allegheny.edu) at [Allegheny College](http://www.allegheny.edu), the course has the following
description:

> A study of the principles and concepts used in the specification, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance
> of large software systems. Topics include requirements elicitation and analysis, formal specification, software
> architectures, object-oriented design, software measurement, software testing and analysis, and evolution of a
> program. Students practice the principles of software development by participating as group members in the creation
> of a significant software application. One laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Computer Science 210 and 220 or
> permission of the instructor. Offered in alternate years.

The source code of the LaTeX documents uses a custom LaTeX style file and several other packages that are normally
standard with a modern LaTeX distribution such a TeXLive 2015. All of the slides are programmed with the
[reveal.js](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/) framework. The background images in the slides were all collected
from the [Flickr Creative Commons](https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/) through the use of the
[cogdog/flickr-cc-helper](https://github.com/cogdog/flickr-cc-helper) tool.

You are invited to use this repository as a means for learning more about instruction in a course on the principles of
software engineering. If you find this repository useful, could I trouble you to star it and then acknowledge it in your
own teaching efforts?

You can type the following command if you want to clone this repository:

```shell
git clone https://github.com/gkapfham/cs280F2015.git
```

Then, if you want to compile the LaTeX document to a PDF, you should type the following commands. In this example, I
show how to compile the syllabus for the course.

```shell
cd cs280F2015
cd syllabus
pdflatex cs280F2015_syllabus.tex
```

If you want to view the slides, then you should type the following commands. In this example, I show how to view the
slides for the first chapter of one of the course's textbooks.

```shell
cd cs280F2015
cd slides
chromium-browser cs280_SETP_chapter1.html
```

Please note that the LaTeX documents have been compiled on an Ubuntu 15.04 workstation running a very recent version of
LaTeX that was manually installed using the TeXLive installer. It is also worth noting that you can also compile the
documents using other LaTeX development tools, such as `latexmk`. If you are unable to compile the LaTeX source code
with your development tools and your execution environment, then please open a new issue and I will attempt to resolve
your concerns.

Additionally, the HTML slides have been tested on modern Web browsers (e.g., Chrome and Firefox) that run on the Ubuntu
and Android operating systems. If the HTML slides do not correctly display on your Web browser, then I also encourage
you to open an issue so that I can handle the problem that you have found.
