7. What this course is about Building software systems and components – small to medium size systems Object Oriented (OO) design Design by Contract (DbC) for quality software Documenting and testing software Applying OO programming Evaluating design decisions according to quality factors

8. What this course in not directly about Requirements analysis: figuring out what a customer wants Teaching algorithms, data structures, syntax Teaching programming – expect that you know how to program Teaching a programming language – use one language to explain and apply the concepts Just getting programs to work – a program that executes is one small piece of the solution.

9. Why Eiffel? Why not C++? Java? Smalltalk? This isn't a language course! You're here to learn about design Want a language that supports software engineering and production of quality software Eiffel has been used successfully on many large projects – AXA Rosenberg Investment Management, Boeing Co., etc. People who have learned Eiffel and OO have no trouble picking up – C++, Java, other design methods

10. Important Checkout the lecture slides regularly (posted on the course directory) It is expected that you familiarize yourself with Eiffel Language syntax and the EiffelStudio IDE on your own: – Start with the following introductions: Getting started A guided tour of EiffelStudio Introductory Videos
