Announcements

Ad for a class next semester: 6.S194, Open Source Software Project Lab

If you enjoyed building real applications in 6.170, then you might also want to look into the latest iteration of a rather new MIT class that connects students with real open-source projects.  The announcement says the deadline for announcing interest is yesterday, but probably there's still a chance to get in.

6.S194 Open Source Software Project Lab, a Lab-based class in large-scale software development, will be offered in the spring.  In this class, the students will be joining an international team coming from universities such as Stanford, U. of Tokyo, U. of Singapore, U. of Helsinki etc. Each team will be embedded with a prominent open source project (see http://tinyurl.com/6S194projects for next semester's projects) and your grade will be based on your contribution to the project.  Teams will be mentored by leaders from their open source project.  In 6.S194, you will learn about project management, how to extend and debug unfamiliar systems, coordinate a distributed team, use modern tools, apply open source as a business model.     Because this course is a global collaboration, we need to start forming the teams by early next week. We need to hear from you by 11:59PM on Sunday December 21st  ***THIS SUNDAY***.  The enrollment is limited, apply at http://tinyurl.com/6S194application.  As this class gets heavily oversubscribed, apply only if you are fully committed to take the class.

Final Project Demos during TA meetings 12/4, 12/5

TA meetings this week will be for demoing your project to your TAs. Walk us through how users might interact with the app to show us its complete functionality.

If you feel that you still need more time (up until the final code submission deadline) to properly demo, please email your TAs to set up a makeup date to demo.

Reminder: last regular lecture today

... on agile: what it's really about, whether it's just hype or not, and why people get so excited (or angry) about it.
