One of the great myths in the technosphere is that musicians make good programmers because music is like math. I disagree. Music is not enough like math for any relevant or significant skill transfer.

IP reuse has reduced the urgency for a higher level of abstraction in complex system-level design, but that still could change. Chip designers have been constantly searching for a hardware description ...

This course covers abstraction and design in computation. Topics include functional and object-oriented styles of programming, software engineering in the small, and models of computation. The goal is ...

Someday, we won’t even look at the code that our AI agent produces. We’ll take it for granted, just as we do the assembly code in our software today. Really big changes don’t happen in the programming ...

Software engineering is the branch of computer science that deals with the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications. Software engineers apply engineering principles and ...
