Abstract
Software history has a deep impact on current software designers, computer scientists, and technologists. System constraints imposed in the past and the designs that responded to them are often unknown or poorly understood by students and practitioners, yet modern software systems often include “old” software and “historical” programming techniques. This work looks at software history through specific software areas to develop student-consumable practices, design principles, lessons learned, and trends useful in current and future software design. It also exposes key areas that are widely used in modern software, yet infrequently taught in computing programs. Written as a textbook, this book uses specific cases from the past and present to explore the impact of software trends and techniques.
Building on concepts from the history of science and technology, software history examines such areas as fundamentals, operating systems, programming languages, programming environments, networking, and databases. These topics are covered from their earliest beginnings to their modern variants. There are focused case studies on UNIX, APL, SAGE, GNU Emacs, Autoflow, internet protocols, System R, and others. Extensive problems and suggested projects enable readers to deeply delve into the history of software in areas that interest them most.

Development of software engineering: co-operative efforts from academia, government and industry
ICSE '06: Proceedings of the 28th international conference on Software engineeringIn the past 40 years, software engineering has emerged as an important sub-field of computer science. The quality and productivity of software have been improved and the cost and risk of software development been decreased due to the contributions made ...
Software development: what it is, what it should be, and how to get there
Developing large software systems is notoriously difficult and unpredictable. Software projects are often canceled, finish late and over budget, or yield low quality results --- setting software engineering apart from established engineering ...
Software Hut: A Computer Program Engineering Project in the Form of a Game
The Software Hut (a small software house) is a course project designed for a graduate-level course in computer program engineering. This paper describes the Software Hut project and discusses the authors' experience using it in graduate courses at the ...
