Book Description
Client-Centered Software Development: The CO-FOSS Approach introduces a method to creating a customized software product for a single client,either from scratch or by reusing open source components. The clients are typically non-profit humanitarian,educational,or public service organizations. This approach has been used in undergraduate courses where students learn the principles of software development while implementing a real-world software product. This book provides instructors,students,clients,and professional software developers with detailed guidance for developing a new CO-FOSS product from conceptualization to completion.
Features
Provides instructors,students,clients,and professional software developers with a roadmap for the development of a new CO-FOSS product from conceptualization to completion
Motivates students with real-world projects and community service experiences
Teaches all elements of the software process,including requirements gathering,design,collaboration,coding,testing,client communication,refactoring,and writing developer and user documentation
Uses source code that can be reused and refitted to suit the needs of future projects,since each CO-FOSS product is free and open source software
Provides links to a rich variety of resources for instructors and students to freely use in their own courses that develop new CO-FOSS products for other non-profits.
