About this book
Learn the principles of good software design and then turn those principles into great code. This book introduces you to software engineering — from the application of engineering principles to the development of software. You'll see how to run a software development project, examine the different phases of a project, and learn how to design and implement programs that solve specific problems. This book is also about code construction — how to write great programs and make them work.
This new third edition is revamped to reflect significant changes in the software development landscape with updated design and coding examples and figures. Extreme programming takes a backseat, making way for expanded coverage of the most crucial agile methodologies today: Scrum, Lean Software Development, Kanban, and Dark Scrum. Agile principles are revised to explore further functionalities of requirement gathering. The authors venture beyond imperative and object-oriented languages, exploring the realm of scripting languages in an expanded chapter on Code Construction. The Project Management Essentials chapter has been revamped and expanded to incorporate "SoftAware Development” to discuss the crucial interpersonal nature of joint software creation.
Whether you're new to programming or have written hundreds of applications, in this book you'll re-examine what you already do, and you'll investigate ways to improve. Using the Java language, you'll look deeply into coding standards, debugging, unit testing, modularity, and other characteristics of good programs.

About the authors
Dr. Vera A. Kazakova is a Computer Science educator and researcher, with expertise in artificial intelligence, experiential learning, and collaborative methodologies. With a PhD in AI focused on nature-inspired computation and emergent division of labor, her research spans CS Education, Evolutionary Computation, Narrative Generation, Decentralized Multi-Agent Systems, and Cyber Social Science. Dr. Kazakova also has extensive experience as a CS educator, having taught programming, artificial intelligence, research, and software development courses. Dr. Kazakova has coined the term "Soft-Aware Development" to encapsulate a holistic approach for building software, building stakeholder relationships, and building up each developer along the way. An ardent proponent of experiential learning and agile methodologies, Dr. Kazakova champions a multi-sprint learning architecture that enables students to adapt and iterate, fostering a shared environment of continuous growth. Her passion for collaboration, from simplistic autonomous agents to human developers, and members of large online communities, sets her apart as an advocate for a more interconnected, empathetic, and empowering approach to CS research, education, and software development.
