This course on Model-Minded Development aims to teach learners the importance of creating abstractions and theories to understand software problems and solutions effectively. The course covers topics such as the relationship between computers, models, and the real world, the significance of theories in coding, and the process of expressing theories in code. Students will learn how to develop good models, make compelling arguments, and write high-quality code. The teaching method involves theoretical explanations and practical examples to illustrate the concepts. This course is intended for software developers and programmers looking to enhance their problem-solving skills and code-writing abilities by adopting a model-centric approach to development.
Overview
Syllabus
Intro
A software problem?
What conclusions?
Computers, Models, & the Real World
No symbols, no reasoning
Models remove details
A good model is hard to find
What's a theory?
Theories: in head and in code
Express your theories in code
Teams, time, and software
Theory: Design + Domain + Argument
Making a good argument
Can you find the theory?
How do I write good code?
