The course is as concerned with the design and development process as with the end product. The students examine and adapt project development methodologies usually associated with software development, including Rapid Prototyping and Object-oriented Design. We emphasize building flexible, multi-purpose systems that are open to change and reuse. In addition, students evaluate the technology behind electronic publishing systems and become familiar with emerging trends in designing and building systems. Students become familiar with various aspects of the publishing business and incorporate marketing, production, and distribution considerations into their project.
Invited speakers cover topics in electronic publishing as well.
