一、	課程說明 (Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>This course presents hands-on labs in the software aspect for students to be 
<br>familiar with software development processes and techniques. The class follows a 
<br>mainstream of building a useful, intelligent web service or mobile app with the 
<br>backend running in the cloud. We introduce some important software development 
<br>tools such as Git. We also demonstrate the use of popular open-source libraries 
<br>(e.g., React, React Native, etc.) and platforms (e.g., Amazon Web Services) to let 
<br>students understand how the "fast prototyping" is done in the software industry. 
<br>
<br>The class is divided into three parts, namely, the fundamentals, app development, 
<br>and intelligence part. In the fundamental part, a primer to some important 
<br>programming techniques such as OOP, functional programming, component-
<br>oriented UI coding, and team collaboration.  In the second part, we will walk 
<br>through a real-world example website and discuss how it is architected and 
<br>implemented. Finally, we will discuss how big data and machine learning can make 
<br>a system/app smarter and more useful.
<br>
<br>The main programming language that will be taught will be ja<x>vasc<x>ript. Students are 
<br>required to know C/C++ programming and data structures and will be asked to 
<br>team up and implement a useful, intelligent web service or mobile app in the end.
