This week in CST 438, we were introduced to various basic software engineering concepts that more or less confirmed my preconceptions regarding the course's content.
Before the beginning of our course term, I had already heard from a few prior students what we may learn. Namely, the basics of git version control, agile method, and the software development lifecycle, including collaborating in a team environment. It turns out we are in fact going to learn these techniques in our course, CST 438, which thrills me, especially since these are real world industry skills. I will admit that most of our academic CS curriculum has been overly theoretical thus far (and indeed this is probably the status quo opinion of someone working in the current tech industry), so being able to learn practical skills such as testing, agile, scrum meetings, git projects, behavior driven development, while also bolstering our knowledge of modern technologies such as react, java, AWS, and Git among other, is an absolute gift. I'm very much looking forward training and improving alongside my team during this term.
