Curriculum Resources

Agile Software Engineering (using VS TFS 2010)
The course serves as an introduction to agile software development processes. It gives an overview on agile management and engineering practices and provides hands-on exercises for students to practice and apply the lecture material. The material can be used in a course focusing on agile software development processes but it could also be used update existing team-oriented software engineering courses to include an agile perspective that is becoming widely used in industrial practice.

Aspect.NET 2.2
This is version 2.2 of Aspect.NET - aspect-oriented programming toolkit for the .NET platform, integrated to Visual Studio. Aspect.NET is developed at St. Petersburg University under the supervision of Professor Vladimir O. Safonov and is already used in 25 countries. The new feature of Aspect.NET 2.2 is in support of the second language - Visual Basic (alongside with C#) as aspect implementation language.

Multi-language AOP with Aspect.NET is an enhancement of multi-language programming with .NET. In .NET, it is possible to develop different modules (classes) of an application in different, more suitable languages and integrate them into a single .NET application. In Aspect.NET, it is possible to implement aspects either in C# or in VB, whatever language might be the most appropriate for the aspect’s functionality, and to weave aspects to target applications written in C# or VB.
