“The City lecturers were first class; knowledgeable, patient and
thorough. My course modules complemented each other well, examining software
at varying levels of detail: the broader socio-economic picture, the user
perspective, high-level architecture, detailed design, as well as the
coding itself. This course fundamentally changed the way I approach software
development, and has equipped me with a set of techniques and principles
that I use daily in my professional life.”
