Course co-ordinator(s): Dr Santiago Chumbe (Edinburgh).
Aims:
This Industrial Project course will require the students to implement a medium-sized industrial project, contextualised for the work performed in the host company, focusing on the practical techniques of using a modern general-purpose programming language, such as C++, C# or Java.
The students will be using a version control system to store and manage their partial software product; they will use different system configurations to create different (stage-release) software products; and, where appropriate, they will use virtualisation technologies during software development and deployment
