Week 1:

CS401: This course will definitely be very interesting. Having to develop software that is suitable to the real world I think is an impressive experience to attain. Further, working with other programmers in one project is a learning experience for everyone and a great way of improving teamwork skills.

Day 1: We went through the syllabus, and touched OSS development basis. In addition, the programming groups were randomly assigned.

My goals:  (not limited to more goals as the semester progresses)

• Improve teamwork skills in software-development  environment
• Be able to implement attained programming skills effectively
• Learn how to contribute to OSS
• Learn how to develop web based applications

Reading: The first three chapters introduce the OSS in an intriguing manner, this demonstrates how great and effective the book will be in developing OSS. I really look forward on using it effectively following the great topics to better my software development skills….
