I have been a software and web developer for decades and have always wanted to know how to design software and websites using engineering models.  How do you design software with the same sort of precision used to build skyscrapers, bridges, aircraft, and submarines?  

This class is the first class in a series that is meant to teach software and web developers of all skill levels and abilities everything I wish I knew about modeling software 20 years ago when I was making my first websites.  This class is a very broad introduction, covering engineering and engineering models, as well as all the types of engineering models software and web developers can use for back-end and front-end development, databases, and project management.  Engineering as a discipline is compared to architecture, design, art, and craftsmanship.  Topics include structural models, behavioral models, managerial models, graphical models, simulations, prototypes, mock-ups, scale models, formal mathematical models, and more.  

This is a class for introductory students as well as advanced practitioners.  This is NOT a class where I will read the slides to you -- I don't like that style of class myself.  I have tried to layer as much information as possible into the videos to make a class that students can watch and re-watch and find new bits of information each time.  

This class contains lots of new information you will not find other places.  I tried for many years to find this information before realizing it just wasn't out there and that I needed to create it myself.  The engineering models presented in this class can help you design better software in less time and with fewer flaws and security vulnerabilities.  These techniques are how you build security into software from the very beginning, rather than trying to tack on "security" at the end.
