Where do you put software development blogs. a safe one where I could also save passwords and sensitive info?

i am working with more than 50 projects and debugs software. I have to keep and maintain the access privileges of such projects and also blog about the things that I did in every single one (for my own documentation purposes). However, I do not know where to put such blogs.





So what I want is a blog site. which is secure and private


optional repository of some files or programs - also private

Where do you put software development blogs. a safe one where I could also save passwords and sensitive info?
you can purchase for a domain and host to save you doc in it .

Is some "software development" like mafia business ?

Tell your staff to get the job done, ignoring guidelines.





Then when your staff ignore guidelines and start fouling up,


heavy them to produce "results".





No one wants to tell you that you are the sole source of the problem. If you were on permanent leave, things would run effortlessly.

Is 'computer software development' same as 'computer software engineer'?

why do some colleges don't prefer to type 'computer software engineer' instead of 'computer software engineer?





and do i have to take 'computer science' as my major to become a computer software engineer?

Is 'computer software development' same as 'computer software engineer'?
Pretty much, yes. Sometimes companies refer to SW development as the process for creating and releasing SW products (aka, product life cycle management, water fall process, agile development, etc.). This job can be called Engineering, Development, Research and Development (R%26amp;D), or Coding. Most companies expect some technical training or a CS major for this type of job.
Reply:I consider a software deleper as a programmer that works more with windows applications and web applications. A software engineer deals with hardware programming, instrument programming, etc.


How do I calculate the cost benefit of a software and how do I decide the market price?

I am doing a project for school and I have to do the four P's of the marketing strategy, but I do not know how to determine the market price. I know the procedures/steps of the cost benefit analysis, but for software development, what items do you take in consideration to become part of your cost? The project is a gambling software...

How do I calculate the cost benefit of a software and how do I decide the market price?
In general, pricing decision should be based on:


- total cost (production, financial, marketing, and admininstrative)


- price of the similar products in the market


- merits/demerits of your product compared with the similar product in the market


- Disposable Income


- the size of the user base


-geographical location








Production cost for the software is the:


- payment for estimated manhours


- depreciation expenses of the equipment and software tools used


- utilities
Reply:Do an online search for a concept called "Economic Value Added" or "EVA Analysis". Here is the premise: Find the next best alternative to your software package and figure out what benefits your software provides over that alternative. Then estimate the economic value of those benefits. Your price should then be based on the value of the benefits your software provides over the alternative.
Reply:Get a calculator and sit down at the table and add the estimates. One more thing always go to the store with 20 dollars more.

How different is a software developer's life from a working professional in BPO, India ?

After choosing my favorite subject Physics for my Bachelors Degree, decided to pursue post graduation in Mass Communication, have just completed a year in BPO. Presently working for a Telephone and Broadband Service provider company, Tiscali based in UK. Also finished Core Java and is going to start with J2EE. Met a couple of friends in IT software development field, came to know about the work hours. A bit confused as which would be a better field in the long run.

How different is a software developer's life from a working professional in BPO, India ?
I would go with what you know, physics and mass communication. They are radically different than software development and unless you are a hardcore programmer, there is limited success. Not everyone was born a programmer and why waste all that time you spent on the bachelors and such by doing an unrelated field?

How many software development projects actually use use-cases?

requirements

How many software development projects actually use use-cases?
Large development projects that will take a year for multiple engineers and usually multiple companies developing concurrently use Use Cases. This is particularly true when the software people get system requirements from a system group.





Some smaller projects use them. They are particularly useful to ensure that the project is fully understood prior to implementation. It is best to use them when a system can be designed in many different ways. The use case becomes the guide so that all of the developers are "on the same page"

Which is the best configuration pc for software development and entertainment.?
All computers have the exact same parts. Case, motherboard, power supply, RAM, CPU Hard drives, DVD/CD ROM drives, Graphic card, sound card, maybe wireless network card, TV tuner card, cooling fans, card reader, floppy drive, key board, mouse and some sort of monitor!





Differences has to do with if you want to buy more hard drives, more RAM, have two or more DVD drives or four CPU.





I think that software development will have more to do with the software that you are using rather than an extremely high performance computer. (High Performance is all of the above, only the latest version of each, with the highest capacity and the most RAM)





Entertainment, large size hard drives, more than one. Fast graphics card/s, two DVD drives, 2 or more GB RAM, TV tuner card (HD), support software, dual core CPU.

Is rapid application devolpmt similar with software development method?

Rapid Application Development (RAD) is generally something you'd use for creating a demo or prototype. You'd want a user-friendly interface, probably with GUI capabilities so you can produce a working model quickly with low development cost.





By contrast, the software development cycle goes through a more stringent quality control and testing phase. You want your end product to be error and bug free. And while there is usually a deadline of some kind for completion, the ultimate goal is a functioning product rather than one thrown together ASAP.

Is rapid application devolpmt similar with software development method?
RAD(rapid application devolpmt ) is not the next step in evolution beyond Software developement. RAD is not stupid and lazy compared to Softtware developement. They both have their place. Here’s how to decide which you need to favor in your roll-your-own process:





1. Do you have a clear vision within your team for what the product will be?


2. Is there a very solid understanding of the problem domain, within your team?


3. Do you have stakeholders and/or investors outside the core team who demand to control the design of the product?


4. How much overlap is there between the software people and the domain expert people in your extended team?





RAD works really well if the answers to 1-2 are “no”, 3 is “yes”, and 4 is “not a lot”. It helps a lot to build something that you don’t fully understand if you have some realistic prototypes to let domain experts and stakeholders fiddle with as you build it.





The disadvantage of RAD can be that the amount of rewriting effort is high. That may be unavoidable but it might be better to do high-fidelity page schematics (basically, a large number of comps) or even an HTML mockup instead of wireframes, rather than actually trying to make it all work before your stakeholders and domain experts have had a few iterations to poke and prod at.





Software dev. works well if you have a pretty darn good idea of what you want and you have the talent within the team to make decisions about the stuff that hasn’t occurred to you yet. At some point you absolutely have to make decisions about the lowest level functional and UI details that you’d rather not have to deal with, but computers can’t fill in the gaps in your high level design. The point of S/w dev. is to have all those conversations and design sessions in the cheapest medium possible, which is usually some words in a word processor about what it will do, and some annotated low fidelity pictures that describe how it will look and feel.





The disadvantage of S/w development is that you can get pretty far down the wrong path with no feedback. Stakeholders get impatient when they see that you’re producing a bunch of requirements gibberish instead of writing code. Wireframes and comps can help somewhat but that depends largely on the level of imagination that the stakeholders have, and their trust in your good judgement about design, and their experience with software applications that you consider to be well designed. Non-software people who just hired you aren’t going to have much patience for a 4 month design phase on their nickel, especially if you keep emailing them 150 page .doc files full of use cases that they’re supposed to review.





In my case the answers to the 4 questions above are “yes”, “yes”, “no”, and “a lot”. Those are the opposite of the answers that point to RAD as the right choice, so I’m using Software dev. this time.





hope this helps


Cheers:)

Reply:I doubt it. China and India are now in head-to-head competition to dominate the IT markets in the future. To get them to outsource projects to North America would require two things, at least: (1) superior skills, and (2) salaries in North America at least one tenth of what they are now. Neither of these is likely. Indians are much better at software and other technical things than a relatively uneducated NA workforce, and salaries at one tenth their present levels would mean that NA would have become a third-world or fourth-world country just struggling for survival, with no time for software development.

Reply:Well,


your's seems to be a case of an Art student with engineering opposition in field of Network Engineering/Security being a special domain in it.


The better option would be for you to wait for an opening in Network Security. Try get some advanced certification from CISCO / www.brainbench.com or RED HAT for supporting your stand to candidature of Network Security Professional. In the mean time, your experience in network support would also be enough to prove your mettle.


Roman empire took almost 2 decades to be built and then was flourishing. Similarly, yours is a career dared not by many. Keep on trying for Network Security as mentioned above.


Alternately, you can check your inclination, whether you like solving logical problems and can remain glued to PC for long hours doing so. If yes, you are suitable for a software career. But yet again, the problem here is you would have to start afresh... frustration would mount and disuade you.


I would suggest you to apply to wipro.com and cisco.com and I2.com. These website based career sections are really wonderful and might give you a right break.

Reply:If you want to learn properly then don't buy any web design software! The best approach is to lean how to do things by hand. Leaning to use a software package only teaches you to lean a package, learning to hand build sites will teach you about the whole process.





Web design software such as Dreamwaver hides the actual process of building HTML, stylesheets and graphic slices. Go and use sites such as W3Schools and positioniseverything which will show the the fundamentals.





The only software you might want to buy to do this is textpad which is like an advanced version of Windows notepad, this and a graphics package such as Photoshop or the excellent free equivalent Gimp.





This is how I build all my sites and I have built some huge and complicated ones over the years.

Generally not. A compiler or interpreter re-written in its own language is rare to unheard of. Some Object-Oriented Development Kits may evolve to use components or methods processed by their earlier iterations.

It would be a risk factor to create a development studio that relied on its own error-ridden code to produce replacement modules for itself. Thus programmers of the language are almost always going to be using a different language than programmers in the language.

4) Build it.. compile, link, resolve any errors.





5) Test it: if it all works as you intended, great. Most likely it won't the first time. Fix what is wrong and go back to 4)





6) Release it to the customer





7) Maintain it: most likely the great software you developed will have some small error in it. Correct that error and go back to 4)


What happens more often is that the customer loves what you did, it works exactly as intended.... But..... it would be so much better if it could do this one other thing, or it had this one feature.


You might be able to just add the feature and go to 4), or you might have to go to 1) defining the new feature..





After maintaining this software for a period of time:


8) End of Life: Your wonderful, well written code is no longer useful... :-( DOS, Windows 3.1, Comodore 64s were all great, but.....


So, call it done.





Of course you have all the code and knowledge to apply to the next projects SDLC.. (Software Development Life Cycle)





Also, if there are several members of your team, there may be "Code Reviews" before and after each of these steps...


What is Modern Software Development?

We have agile methodologies, system development life cycle, project management, or other practices to improve our programming capabilities in order to help us and our client as well.





But how would you define Modern Software Development based on your own definition?





Similar question has been asked on this URL (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archive... so read that first to have some insights.

What is Modern Software Development?
Well it basically depends upon ur reganizational structure and OFCOURSE on wht sort of clients you have.


First of all i personally dont believe in this Agile methodolies,a good Development cycle and Management is always very sound in which the analysis processes takes a lot.


but if u are into a small level company with small client and you dont looking forward to make any client permenant then Agile might work but if you want to give an impretion to client then follow STANDARD and do tell client which standards you are following it will give a good impration to you client and you organizational struture will evolve as well

Why software development is stll a trial and error processing?

Even if you plan out everything in advance there are still going to be mistakes. A typo in someones code or just something nobody had thought of before comes up.

Why software development is stll a trial and error processing?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "trial and error" process?





I've been developing software for 28 years and I've never considered it to be trial and error. Yeah, mistakes are made. But this is true of all design and engineering disciplines.





Truth be told, there is one aspect of it that is "trial and error" and that is, well, the arrogance of the lesser experienced programmers and developers not listening to or respecting more experienced engineers. More than once I and other experienced engineers have been told that we don't know what we're talking about, only to turn around and have to "save" these same people from their own mistakes, and design errors.





So, if there is anything "trial and error" about it, I'd say it is the lack of respect for people with more experience.

Taxes for software development?

A friend of mine has started a new company offering software development services. Now, he's getting lots of contradictory advises from various tax experts regarding Tax for software.





He mainly does customised software development. He doesn't have any products as such. And he says his software is built using Free and Open Source tools like linux.





Now, is VAT applicable or is it service tax ? And if VAT, how much VAT must he collect ?





The company is based in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Taxes for software development?
Service Tax has been replaced by VATin many states. Is he doing offshore development work? Has he registered his company?

Software development subjects?

i want do a course based on programing . it can be said software development courses. the subjects are c , c ++ , java

here i want to ask you that which other softwares will be needed for me to more development on my course or are these good to me or not


i want some more idea from all of you

Software development subjects?
Well Pratap let me get straight to your point. Now its very important to know y ur taking up these course. If its just a hobby then i think the language u mentioned are enough. But if Ur taking it up as a career then you need to decide which way you wanna go. If you are interested in web based development then you will need a through knowledge about ASP. NET, Perl, Java Script, and Cold Fusion/Jsp. And if you are interested in windows based application development then apart from java, vb.net you also need a through knowledge about C#.Net as it is hot with present industry standards.
Reply:If you want to be a software developer, your course is more than sufficient, however if you also want to have some knowledge of web development, get some basics of PHP and Javascript along with HTML.

Reply:For a hobby, that's great. If you actually want a JOB or a CAREER out of this, no, that's not nearly good enough. You have to be able to actually understand what you are doing, not just be able to write code in one or two random fashionable languages. Here are some classes that you need to take:





Computer architecture


operating systems


programming languages


compilers


real time computing

Which programming language is more powerful for software development c++ or java?

i want to master either java or c++ which one is more powerful.


Does any language there more powerful than both of them.


In addition, how do we execute java application after we compile it , it changes into .class extension unlike c++ .exe file can be called directley , can we execute is with out the java software run button ?


please any can give me a clue to these question or a good link.

Which programming language is more powerful for software development c++ or java?
1.Mastering a language depends on what kind of job or development work you are targeting.





2.Each programming language has certain advantages and disadvantages of its own. And the choice depends on the application requirements. For eg. Java is heavily used for the internet and mobile devices. Whereas C++ is an enhancement of the C language which is the most popular and the oldest programming language. It is also used for Systems programming.


So we cannot say that Language A is more powerful than Language B.





3. You must be compiling the java program from the command prompt using the following command.





%26gt;javac MyProgram.java





This will create a .class file which contains the byte-code for your program. It is for the operating system and not for us. If you try to view it or execute it, it won't.


The actual file can be executed by the following command





%26gt;java MyProgram


Note that it is not 'javac', but 'java' and there is no .java after MyProgram.





This should solve your problem.
Reply:i dont know how to program C++ i just know it is much more complicated and better than java
Reply:Depends on your application - what are you trying to do?


PLease help!!! In software development...?

In software development, which process—requirements, design, coding, or testing—do you think has more impact on the overall success and quality of development?








Thanks in advance..

PLease help!!! In software development...?
In any solutions architecting, the requirements gathering is the first step. With that, design and design validation are the crucial, as yhou may be designing something that may not meet the requirements. After that, you progress to component design. Test design and coding follow that and then testing. Ultimately, if your testing is not comprehensive, your product quality and customer satisfaction will suffer.
Reply:the requirements gathering and documentation...the rest is peanuts after that....but you have to get the requirements right.

I am a Bachelor in Engineering in IT & can't decide whether to go for software development or teaching in IT.

1-If I opt for software development I have to move long away from my family and I don't want to leave my family although I am not married yet.


2-I am not outspoken and a bit nervous and introvert.

I am a Bachelor in Engineering in IT %26amp; can't decide whether to go for software development or teaching in IT.
You don't have to be an extrovert or outspoken to be a good teacher and initially all teachers are nervous.





However, teaching isn't as easy as it looks nor is it an easy option despite what the popular opinion might be about teachers short working day (it isn't) or long holidays (they aren't as long as they appear as most teachers are also doing development work and are stressed out by the end of any term).





Good luck but research the teaching option fully and be committed to it as a positive choice not a second option.
Reply:It's been my personal experience that you're a washout at age 30 in soft dev. On the other hand, of any of the successful mid-life career changes I have heard or read about, the professional made a transition to teaching or truck driving.
Reply:Sounds like the idea of teaching may make you a bit nervous... afterall, it's mostly public speaking. Yes, you can get used to it... but you'll have to learn the skills of speaking to a group. Only you can ultimately decide where you feel you will get the most enjoyment. Perhaps as an alternative, you can go into software development for your day job and teach one class at a junior college in the evening. You will probably discover very quickly whether teaching is for you or not.
Reply:Do both, if you want to.





Most universities have positions where you only teach a group or so for as little as four hours a week, that way you can arrange a schedule where you can do both, it is hard, but very rewarding.





Try starting with the hardest first, SW development probably needs more of your time, but once you settle in, you can find the remaining hours to teach in a near by university.





See if you enjoy it, do your best for your students and in your systems and everything should work itself out. Be hones with yourself about how you feel and perform though.

Is CASE technology improving quality and productivity in software development ?
Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) Environments








What is a CASE Environment?





Our Definition of CASE


Many definitions and descriptions of CASE exist. We choose a broad definition, perhaps the most straightforward one possible:





CASE is the use of computer-based support in the software development process.


This definition includes all kinds of computer-based support for any of the managerial, administrative, or technical aspects of any part of a software project.

















What Is a CASE Tool?


Since the early days of writing software, there has been an awareness of the need for automated tools to help the software developer. Initially the concentration was on program support tools such as translators, compilers, assemblers, macro processors, and linkers and loaders. However, as computers became more powerful and the software that ran on them grew larger and more complex, the range of support tools began to expand. In particular, the use of interactive time-sharing systems for software development encouraged the development of program editors, debuggers, code analyzers, and program-pretty printers.





As computers became more reliable and in greater use, the need for a broader notion of software development became apparent. Software development came to be viewed as:








A large-scale activity involving significant effort to establish requirements, design an appropriate solution, implement that solution, test the solution's correctness, and document the functionality of the final system.





A long-term process producing software that requires enhancement through out its lifetime. The implications of this are that the structure of the software must enable new functionality to be added easily, and detailed records of the requirements, design, implementation, and testing of the system must be kept to aid maintainers of the software. In addition, multiple versions of all artifacts produced during a project must be maintained to facilitate group development of software systems.





A group activity involving interaction among a number of people during each stage of its life. Groups of people must be able to cooperate, in a controlled manner, and have consistent views of the state of the project.


This view of "programming in the large" resulted in a wide range of support tools being developed. Initially, the tools were not very sophisticated in their support. However, two important advances had the effect of greatly improving the sophistication of these tools:








Research in the area of software development processes gave rise to a number of software design methods (e.g., Jackson Structured Programming, the Yourdon Method) that could be used as the basis for software development. These methods were ideally suited to automated tool support in that they required step-by-step adherence to methods, had graphical notations associated with them, and produced a large number of artifacts (e.g., diagrams, annotations, and documentation) that needed to be recorded and maintained.





.....personal workstations and personal computers. These machines have relatively large memory storage capacities, fast processors, and sophisticated bit-mapped graphics displays that are capable of displaying charts, graphical models, and diagrams.





We refer to all of the above tools as CASE tools and posit the following definition:





A CASE tool is a computer-based product aimed at supporting one or more software engineering activities within a software development process.


Other authors have attempted to make finer-grained distinctions between differ ent classes of CASE tools along a number of dimensions. The most common distinctions are:








Between those tools that are interactive in nature (such as a design method support tool) and those that are not (such as a compiler). The former class are sometimes called CASE tools, while the latter class are called development tools.





Between those tools that support activities early in the life cycle of a soft ware project (such as requirements and design support tools) and those that are used later in the life cycle (such as compilers and test support tools). The former class are sometimes called front-end CASE tools, and the latter are called back-end CASE tools.





Between those tools that are specific to a particular life-cycle step or domain (such as a requirements tool or a coding tool) and those that are common across a number of life-cycle steps or domains (such as a documentation tool or a configuration management tool). The former class are sometimes called vertical CASE tools, while the latter class are called horizontal CASE tools.


Unfortunately, all these distinctions are problematic. In the first case, it is difficult to give a simple and consistent definition of `interactive' that is meaningful. For example, some classes of compilers prompt the user for information. In the second and third cases, there is an assumption about the methods and approaches in use (e.g., object-oriented software development, or prototype-oriented development), hence our use of the broader, inclusive definition of a CASE tool.

















What Is a CASE Environment?


The first generation of CASE tool developers concentrated to a large extent on the automation of isolated tasks such as document production, version control of source code, and design method support. While successes have been achieved in supporting such specific tasks, the need for these `islands of automation' to be connected has been clearly recognized by many first generation CASE tool users. For example, a typical development scenario requires that designs be closely related to their resultant source code, that they be consistently described in a set of documentation, and that all of these artifacts be under centralized version control. The tools that support the individual tasks of design, coding, documentation, and version control must be integrated if they are to support this kind of scenario effectively.





In fact, such tools are more often used as components in a much more elaborate software development support infrastructure that is available to software engineers. A typical CASE environment consists of a number of CASE tools operating on a common hardware and software platform. Also note that there are a number of different classes of users of a CASE environment. Some users, such as software developers and managers, wish to make use of CASE tools to support them in developing application systems and monitoring the progress of a project. On the other hand, tool integrators are responsible for ensuring that the tools operate on the software and hardware platform available, and the system administrator's role is to maintain and update the hardware and software platform itself.





Also note that software developers, tool integrators, and system administrators interact with multiple CASE tools and environment components that form the software and hardware platform of the CASE environment. It is these interactions, among the different CASE environment components and between users and those components, that are the key elements of a CASE environment. In many respects the approach toward the management, control, and support of these interactions distinguishes one CASE environment from another. We can define a CASE environment by emphasizing the importance of these interactions:





A CASE environment is a collection of CASE tools and other components together with an integration approach that supports most or all of the interactions that occur among the environment components, and between the users of the environment and the environment itself.


The critical part of this definition is that the interactions among environment components are supported within the environment. What distinguishes a CASE environment from a random amalgamation of CASE tools is that there is some thing that is provided in the environment that facilitates interaction of those tools. This `something' may be a physical mechanism such as a shared database or a message broadcast system, a conceptual notion such as a shared philosophy on tool architectures or common semantics about the objects the tools manipulate, or some combination of these things.





The range of possible ways of providing the `glue' that links CASE tools together inevitably leads to a spectrum of approaches to implementing a CASE environment. One of the main points we make in this book is that there are many ways to build a CASE environment. While many people concentrate on the selection of CASE tools and components when assembling a CASE environ ment, they largely ignore the need to support the interactions among those components. We concentrate less on which components should be chosen, and much more on how the selected components can be made to work together effectively. Whether a chosen approach to component interaction is appropriate in a given context will depend on many overlapping factors: the needs of the organization in question, the available resources, and so forth. A detailed assessment of these related factors and constraints is necessary to determine the CASE environment most suited to the problem at hand.

What is a component, class, and control in software development?

define, contrast and compare component,class,control

What is a component, class, and control in software development?
Component and control do not have a definite meaning. Various environments may attach different meaning to them. Generally, both of them would refer to a GUI element such as a button. This is especialy true of control, and component might have a broader meaning that applies also to non-GUI elements.





Class is much clearer. Classes are the foundation of all object-oriented programming languages, such as Java or C#. Briefly, a class is a blueprint for an object of some kind. It defines the data in objects of that type and the actions that can be taken on objects of that type. Although class is a common term, various languages describe the data and actions using different terminology. For example, the actions in Java classes are called methods, but in C++ they are often called member functions.





For example, a business might have a Customer class. The data would be things like name, adress, etc. The actions might be things like getFirstName(), setAddress(), etc. The class itself is not an object. Each actual customer would be an object of that class.





Components and controls are usually based on a class. Using a button again, it is usually an object of a Button class. The class is the blueprint; the actual button is an instance or object of that class.

Speaking of software development process I came across this hilarious page http://funnyemails.uni.cc/content/view/1... i hope its not like this

Software Development Process?
You'll need to learn about both procedural and object oriented design techniques and how to write a good specification for your designs. Then you should broaden out to include C/C++, Java and / or assembly language depending on the type and scope of projects.


The URL below is a good resource for free compilers and tutorials as well as articles that may interest you. It's a place to start.
Reply:A choice of language is usually more determined by the project in question. C++ is probably the most versatile language out there since it can integrate to almost any language and platform out there. Good luck! Report It

Sometimes software development is used interchangeable with software engineering...?
Having studied computer science myself in college, that looks like a pretty standard computer science curriculum. You should be able to become a software developer/software engineer with that. (Most of my colleagues in the industry seem to use the terms "software engineer" and "software developer" fairly interchangeably. I personally think they mean pretty much the same thing, with "software engineer" having slightly more of a connotation of being able to think at a higher level of code architecture. But for most purposes, I think of them as the same thing.)





Also, something to note, in terms of looking for a job in the software industry, classes/grades do matter much, but I would also highly recommend trying to get some good internships by the time you graduate from college, as they will make your resume look much better and give you a taste of what life as a software engineer will be like. (I do a good deal of recruiting and reviewing of resumes for my group at work, and in general, if you don't have at least one or two decent internships at companies, it makes it much harder to even get considered for an interview.)
Reply:Software Engineer vs Developer has sparked a debate that still continues. "Traditional engineers (especially civil engineers and the NSPE) claim that they have special rights over the term engineering, and for anyone else to use it requires their approval. In the mid-1990s, the NSPE sued to prevent anyone from using the job title software engineering. The NSPE won their lawsuit in 48 states" see

Having worked as both, I found as a developer it was all about the code. I was expected to write, test, and control access to the code. As a software engineer, it was all about processes, the application of metrics and complexity models.





At the end of the day, Potential employers are looking at work experience and education.
Reply:As for this question you have asked and your curriculum you would be studying much more than wat a so called software engineer studies and with this level of education you will be more prefered over the software engineers on job basis. Any one who can understand codes, knows where to pick them up from, having lateral thinking, and knows where to use the codes is known as a software developper.and the work of a software engineer is no where different from this. According to your curriculum i think your course would be the best if studied and understood well. Hey don worry even we engineers do study ethics, principles of management,psycology and all that stuff .and i prefer your curriculum better to the normal software engineers. Anyway my friend just keep in mind " Do well all that you do"


What are the skill set required for embedded software development?

actually i want suggestions on what are the programming languages to be mastered for embedded software developer job

What are the skill set required for embedded software development?
This depends on the the microprocessor and/or application. For very small systems (8-bit) you need C and assembly (not an expert but know enough because you will need it). You need some electronics background for the peripherals the software will be accessing - this is company and application dependent. Your C skills need to be good for embedded development - you're not developing for a PC with a hard drive and 16MB of RAM. For larger embedded systems with more horsepower and RAM, C or C++ will get you through and assembly won't be necessary. For all systems, knowing one or more RTOSes (Real Time Operating Systems) will be a plus. Read Ganssle's "Art of Embedded Systems Programming" and "Embedded Systems Programming" %26amp; "Circuit Cellar" magazines and other good references. Pick up a development kit (Arm, Avr, Rabbit, eZ80, MSP430, etc) to experiment with and get a feel for the environment. Most companies want experienced programmers - often what ships has to be right (bug-free) the first time. Customers don't have the luxury of the sottware being able to check the Internet for an update to fix problems.
Reply:Studying object oriented for embedded software programming is a waste of time. Even though few companies might want to use it,it still has it's issues and is not good for critical real-time systems. Report It

Reply:I have a program with an embedded jpeg in it.Is that what embedded is?I'm not seeing Microsoft Visual Basic as a programming language as much as it is an approach to software construction.Try VB--good luck--I could not get it to work.
Reply:For embedded (real embedded, not a Windows OS in a box),


C


C++





Occasionally:


Java


Assembler





Useful (because it helps debugging and analysis):


Python or other scripting language





Domain Specific (some embedded systems talk to the world in things other than text and numbers). You will have to figure out the domain yourself:


HTML


XML


What is SOA Testing in terms of software development?

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is more than just a new name for web services. The reality is that SOA implementations are a combination of web components, mid-tier components, as well as back-end and legacy systems. Enterprises are using SOA to integrate disparate systems into cohesive business processes by reusing in-tact systems and leveraging messaging and integration.





The challenge of testing the SOA is that processes flow across application stacks and technologies. Unlike preceding generations of client-server and mainframe systems, SOA systems are not screen-centric but integration-centric. This poses a unique challenge for testing methodologies which rely heavily on screen verification to validate the integrity of the entire process.

Is Software Engineering same as Software Development ?
Software development and software engineering go hand in hand when it comes to the implementation of software. Software development deals more with the creation of the software and when this is complete, software engineering takes over with the creation of software systems. Both of these disciplines are at times interchangeable and without much difference to the layman. If you just want to have one specific piece of software designed, such as database software that will keep track of your bird watching hobby, then you’ll just need software development. If, however, you want your bird watching database to be able to support multiple functions, such as delivering a report with statistics and results, then you’ll more likely need the expertise of software engineering.
Reply:For the purposes of your school, they seem to be interchangeable. Most engineers will take exception to that claim, though.





The real issue is that software ENGINEERING has as much to do with mathematical theory as with development, they are about as related to Software Development as a FINANCE degree would be to a MARKETING degree.





Here's an example of the curriculum for software engineering at a top-flight school:





The Bachelor's Program at MIT is actually called Electrical Engineering and Computer Science


You'd need credits in Computer systems, A.I., Advanced Algorithms, Computer Architechture, Software, Algorithms, EECS, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Discrete Math and another 12 credits of advanced undergraduate subjects plus software lab.





At Carnegie Mellon (best robotics school)


it is also called Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the key here is ALSO an Electrical Engineering focus with some software instruction. Mostly it is theory with practical bits needed to know and to adapt programming.








Here is a site that lists the US programs in "Software Engineering":


http://www.univsource.com/software.htm





An excellent source of what an ENGINEERING program really looks like is available at Seattle University's Website:


http://www.seattleu.edu/scieng/comsci/MS...





The important thing to remember is that calling your program an "Engineering" program wouldn't have made you an engineer. Frankly, I would be surprised if it is even a Bachelor of Science program, as opposed to a Bachelor of Arts.





Believe me, in the techie world it is a HUGE difference. Therefore, your school probably changed it to make sure it was in compliance with accreditation standards set for schools across the country, and had to change it to "Development." It really sounds more appropriate, based on your schedule.





For what it is worth, I have a Bachelor of Arts in another discipline, so I am not knocking that, but if you want a serious engineering program, you might need to switch schools.
Reply:Yes, software Engineering is same as Software Development because only the software engineers can develop a software. If a person do not have any knowledge of any kind of software information then he/she cannot develpo a software. So, according to me SOFTWARE ENGINERRING IS SAME AS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.
Reply:No,both are different.Software development is a part of software engineering
