Software Engineering II

Hi everybody, welcome to Software Engineering, Part II. In this class we will learn how to design, develop, deploy, test and expose software applications that solve real problems or capture opportunities.

The prerequisites for the class are to be familiar with the basics of computer programming. There are no prerequisites on a specific language, we will learn in the course about web programming so that at least we can build application backends.
