Engineering Software as a Service. 2nd Edition Beta.

April 22, 2021
Three years ago, my advisor, Prof. Kristen Walcott, introduced me to an excellent set of software engineering curriculum that she was using and had used, in part, to stand up a software engineering course at UCCS (the first of its kind). The curriculum was developed at UC Berkley by Prof. Armando Fox and Prof. David Patterson in partnership with EdX. More than 20,000 students earned certificates from these online courses since 2012, and more than 100,000 have completed parts of the course. Over the summer, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Fox and review/update the JavaScript chapter for the 2nd edition. Today, I received the new beta edition of the book in the mail. Thankful for the opportunity.
