MODULE 1: Process
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES - TypeScript, JavaScript
TypeScript has many great resources, but the TypeScript Handbook or
the TypeScript Deep Dive would be good places to start. If you are start-
ing from scratch, it is really important that you do not just read a bunch of
code but actually write some. The TypeScript Playground or a JavaScript
REPL can be a lightweight way to do this.
Overview
Welcome to Process, the first module in Software Engineering: Introduc-
tion. In this module, we will explore how software development processes
can help structure the diverse set of activities involved in building modern
systems. While learning about several common processes used in industry,
we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, as well as
how to choose the best process for your specific team and project.
Learning Goals
• Learn about the different types of stakeholders and the types of doc-
umentation they use to communicate during the software develop-
ment process
• Learn about Traditional software processes, including Waterfall and
Spiral approaches
• Learn about more modern Agile software processes, including Ex-
treme Programming, Test Driven Development, and Scrum method-
