Greetings! This page contains information that is primarily of interest to students enrolled in (or planning to enroll in) UC Berkeley’s on-campus course CS 169, Software Engineering, in which students learn the fundamentals of Agile/XP and develop Software as a Service (SaaS) for an external customer.

Want to be a customer? Let us build software for your nonprofit or NGO, pro bono. Learn more.
Trying to place out of this course? See the articulation requirements for CS169.
Not a Berkeley student? You can apply to enroll and receive official UC Berkeley transcript credit (space permitting; tuition & fee required; regular in-class attendance and on-campus participation required) through Concurrent Enrollment.
Unable to enroll due to space or other limitations? Want to audit? Most of the course material is available in the edX courses Agile Development Using Ruby & Rails, parts 1 and 2. New material that appears in the campus course usually appears on edX the following semester.

Waitlist, attendance, webcasting, drop date, …

Please read the Teams and Enrollments page to understand how sections work, because section attendance is required, sections are fixed, and lecture conflicts are a no-go.
Here are the section times & rooms. For weeks 1-2, you may attend any (but please try to load-balance; see Piazza), after week 2 you will have a specific section.
There will be occasional micro-quizzes in lecture which will count toward the total grade.
Webcast of lectures will be available on bCourses 1-2 days after live lecture.
Because the team project is so important, this is an early-drop class. The deadline to drop is the end of Week 2.
