Welcome to the class of 2021-2022

Welcome

This class has for many years had an external presence on the Open Educational Resource (this website). You should bookmark it and use it to support your own learning journey.

You must obtain a copy of the following book: "The Soul of a New Machine" by Tracy Kidder. This is the Pulitzer prize winning account of Data General’s Eagle mini-computer project (Kidder, 1981). The book is ~283 pages long and should take 8-10 hrs to read.
Tracy Kidder, (1981) The Soul of a New Machine (e.g. ISBN 0316491977). 
One of the our key learning activities is to read the book from cover to cover and to be prepared to discuss the events, themes and learning in the book. We will also discuss the module's wider learning goals, related readings, activities and assessments at our first class.

Again, welcome! and I look forward to meeting you in class.
