This textbook is a product of the author’s experience teaching software engineering courses and directing student software development projects for 30 years. Often, students have difficulty connecting textbook content to a practical application. This text addresses this core problem by presenting essential software engineering concepts, while providing a roadmap for students as they undertake software development projects. The first section of the text presents the content; the second section applies this content to a project. Building security into software will also be a theme that runs throughout the book to teach students to develop software that avoids major security pitfalls.
