EE2372 Software Design I - Spring 2010 space.
Days/Time : TTh 10:30 - 11:50
Location: Classroom Building 301
Course Description: An introduction to software design with a structured computer language that focuses on the construction of programs consisting of multiple functions residing in multiple files. Covers program creation and top-down-design, basic elements and operations, modular program construction, and the use of programming tools such as makefiles. Introduces object oriented programming techniques.
AKA Learn how to program a computer.
Class Outcomes (all equally important):
- Design, implement , and execute programs written in the C language.
- Define the use of functions, and design multiple module programs.
- Use a variety of UNIX-based and PC-based programming tools for software development like IDE's (Integrated Development Environment), debuggers and makefiles.
- Create and use pointers, data structures and enumerated data types.
- Access text files directly in C language programs via I/O functions.

Lecture Materials
Introduction to programming elements using MATLAB
Designing programs with flowcharts
Structures programming examples Note: The original version of these examples were downloaded from the web, but I don't have the source anymore. The examples have been modified in some parts to illustrate other properties of structures.
Pointers. An introduction to pointers. Really an intro, the remaining material was covered in class. Example 1. Example 2.
Linked list example. Just the C-code that could be useful for your last homework.
