 ===Software engineering: design and implementation===
+Outline:
+* It all starts with an idea. Putting together a design document, functional specification from the requirements.
+* Outlining the code. Iterating on the outline. Details are good; the objective is to break the project into pieces smaller than your own head.
+* Implementation. Writing up and documenting code. Coding style, documentation style.
+* Testing. Testing. More testing. Debugging: one of those things that's so hard to teach, but that doesn't mean we can't try.
+* Code reusability; a.k.a. "Why spend all this effort on writing 'good' code anyway?"
