Advice and rules:

  • Use the forums and mailing lists! Learning to program is hard: take

advantage of every help you can get.

  • Don’t be shy. There are no stupid questions.
  • Criticism welcome, but always be polite to every participant and
  • bserve the etiquette.

Exercises, “Testat” regulations

  • “Testat”: Needed for admittance to fall exam.
  • Exercises:

7 weekly assignments 3 classroom exercises 1 project exercise

  • To get the “Testat” you need to have done at least:

5 weekly assignments 2 classroom exercises 1 project exercise Must show serious effort to address the questions Must have filled out questionnaire

  • Military services or illness contact your assistant.
I ntro – Lecture 1 26 Chair of Softw are Engineering

The software

The exercises rely on the TRAFFIC and Flat Hunt software Application domain: Transportation system in a city EiffelStudio download: http://www.eiffel.com/downloads/

I ntro – Lecture 1 27 Chair of Softw are Engineering

You’ll discover Flat Hunt

I ntro – Lecture 1 28 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Behind the software

Patrick Schoenbach Michela Pedroni Till Bay (EiffelMedia library) Numerous ETH students including Marcel Kessler, Sibylle Aregger, Rolf Bruderer, Ursina Caluori, Roger Küng…

I ntro – Lecture 1 29 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Warning

Not everything will be perfect from our side. The software (TRAFFIC, Flat Hunt) probably has mistakes (“bugs”), and the textbook too. BUT: We will correct our mistakes, as quickly as we can. If you try something, don’t blame the software first. It may be doing just what you told it to.

I ntro – Lecture 1 30 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Why this approach?

Many software issues become really tough for big systems With other approaches, in an introductory course, you’ll only see small programs We give you a considerable amount of existing software; you can use it as model and inspiration You learn to use software through abstract interfaces (also known as contracts) You go from consumer to producer: outside-in TRAFFIC and Flat Hunt are graphical and fun! You should at the end be able to understand all! Then you can participate too!

I ntro – Lecture 1 32 Chair of Softw are Engineering

The basic advice

Attend all lectures Read material (when available) before lecture Attend all exercise sessions Do all exercises & the project (you’ll need them for the “Testat”) If you don’t understand, ask (again: there are no stupid questions) If you have already programmed, take advantage of it, but take a fresh look at the material; explore the TRAFFIC and Flat Hunt software If you are new to programming, don’t panic, it can be tough at the beginning

Software engineers build machines

You can’t touch, kick or drop our machines: they’re immaterial But they are machines anyway We call them programs or systems To operate (or run or execute) a program you need a physical machine: a computer Computers and related devices: hardware Programs and associated intellectual value: software

I ntro – Lecture 1 35 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Software everywhere

Banking: manage millions of account Trading: decide to sell or buy Transportation: control trains, track planes... Today’s cars have millions of lines of program code Travel: air, train, hotel reservations Communication: phones, Internet, … Government: manage taxes, track laws... Health care: keep health record, control devices Education Entertainment Information etc.

Common myths and excuses

“Computers are intelligent” Fact: Computers are neither intelligent nor

  • stupid. They execute programs devised by
  • humans. These programs reflect the intelligence
  • f their authors.

The basic computer operations are extremely elementary (store this value, add these two numbers). “The computer has crashed” “The computer doesn’t allow this” “The computer lost your record” “The computer messed up your record”

I ntro – Lecture 1 44 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Computers don’t make mistakes * ....

Programs don’t make mistakes either Programmers do make mistakes *Actually, hardware can malfunction, but this is much more rare than

program errors

I ntro – Lecture 1 45 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Computers

  • Computers are universal machines. They execute the program that

you feed them

  • The only limit is your imagination and your carefulness
  • The good news:

Your computer will do exactly what your program says It will do it very fast

  • The bad news:

Your computer will do exactly what your program says It will do it very fast

I ntro – Lecture 1 46 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Writing software is tough

Programs “crash” Programs that don’t crash don’t necessarily work Badly functioning programs have killed people, e.g. in medical devices Ariane 5 rocket, 1996: $10 billion lost because of a simple program error Programmers are responsible for the good functioning

Information and data

Information is what you want, e.g. a text or music Data is how it is encoded for the computer, e.g. MP3 audio format

  • Data: collections of symbols held in a computer
  • Information: interpretation of data for human

purposes

Computers

  • Computers are universal machines. They execute the program that

you feed them.

Program (Universal machine) + = Specialized machine

I ntro – Lecture 1 56 Chair of Softw are Engineering

Where’s the program?

  • Stored-program computer: the program is in memory. “Executable

data”.

  • The computer, with the help of some basic programs (operating

system) knows how to find your program in memory to execute it.

  • A program can appear in memory in different forms:

Source: human-readable form (programming language). Target form, machine code, object form: form executable by the computer. Compilers transform source text to machine code.
