Software Engineering Course

I am taking CS527, UIUC's graduate-level software engineering course, this semester. It is taught by Ralph Johnson who cowrote the classic Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software.

One interesting feature of the course is that we must keep a journal of the presentations we attend and the books we read for the course. Professor Johnson recommends keeping the journal as a weblog. He mentioned eventually setting up an aggregator, but right now he is just keeping a list of the students' weblogs. I will be keeping my journal under this weblog's CS527 category (RSS, Atom). You can probably expect more software architecture-oriented posts in the near future.

Weblogs, a wiki, an excellent reading list, and a well-known expert for a teacher... I expect good things from this class.
