Developing Real World Software

by Richard Schlesinger

Overview

Ideal for use in a software engineering lab or special topics setting, Developing Real World Software is a practical guide for developing useful, real world software applications that are high performing, secure, reliable, and configurable. It expands upon material presented in traditional software engineering texts and focuses on key principles from a practical application development perspective so that students can experience all aspects of the process first-hand. The theme of encapsulation is stressed throughout the book as it explains how it can be utilized to tremendously improve the understandability of large real world programs.

About the Author

Richard Schlesinger teaches computer science at Kennesaw State University. His primary emphasis is on exploring new pedagogical methods in college level courses, as well as introducing computer programming to high school students. Prior to teaching at KSU, he received a Master's degree in Computer Science from Illinois Institute of Technology and then spent 30 years in industry. During that time, he worked on the internals of six different operating systems, as well as the design of several computers. He also developed various communication subsystems, several transaction processors, and cryptographic systems. He was one of the principal designers of the first working data flow computer.
