"Project Management - Meeting those Pesky Requirements" by Celia Desmond — Oct. 17 & 18, 2009
This two day seminar is for those who manage or work on projects, but have little or no formal training in the field. The course touches on key process areas described in the Project Management Institute's "Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge", including Project Integration, Scope Management, Cost Management, Time Management, Risk Management, Procurement Management, Quality Management, Communications Management, Human Resources. Techniques addressing the key areas of scope definition and management, risk assessment, managing the people aspects, schedule preparation, and budget management will be introduced.Click for details.
"Developing an Effective Coding Standard" by Michael Barr — Oct. 22, 2009
There are many sources of bugs in software programs. Some bugs are created by the original programmer. Other bugs results from misunderstandings of the original code by those who maintain, extend, and/or reuse (or port) that code at a later time. The number of bugs introduced by the original programmer can be reduced through the disciplined application of certain coding practices. In addition, some types of bugs caused by maintenance programmers can be prevented by the original programmer through commenting and careful and consistent naming of variables and functions.
Coding standards, which consider these issues from the start, are valuable tools to keep bugs out of medical devices and other safety-critical embedded systems. This course utilizes the Netrino Embedded C Coding Standard and demonstrates - using the Zero Bugs...Period design methodology - how coding standards should be created to effectively eliminate software bugs in Embedded C. Students are prepared to develop a variant of Netrino's Coding Standard customized to the needs of their organization.Click for details.
