Back when I was studying software engineering at the Australian National University, we were assigned a number of text books, but never required (in any serious way at least) to read them. While I don’t really consider all of them worth worrying with, there are a few that are worth reading through.

In the IB Notes spirit of motivating myself to do things by imagining I’ll be helping others as well, I’m going to have a go at writing up reading group style notes about each chapter of each book as I work through. Hopefully that will mean some quick notes about the key points in the chapter, and a bit of discussion of my experience in light of those points.

First on the list is the 6th edition of ‘Software Engineering’ by Ian Sommerville.
