Any software development now will probably use open source software and large language models (LLMs) or generative AI (genAI) for helping in some of the tasks. The open source movement has matured over the last few decades and open source software is now an important and integral part of the software ecosystem. LLMs, which arrived relatively recently, have taken the world by storm and are impacting all activities where generation of text (or other type of artifacts) is the goal, including software development. These two important trends are the reason for the sub-title of this edition “using open source and Generative AI”. While this edition of the book, like the previous one, will focus on developing software, for the major tasks involved in a development project, it will also discuss the use of open source and LLMs. An introductory course on Software Engineering remains one of the hardest subjects to teach, primarily because of the wide range of topics the area encompasses. I have believed for some time that we often tend to teach too many concepts and topics in an introductory course, resulting in shallow knowledge and insufficient skills for applying the concepts. I believe that an introductory course on Software Engineering should aim to empower students with the knowledge and skills that are needed to successfully execute a small team project to deliver a modest-sized software application to its users while employing proper practices and techniques. It is worth pointing out that a vast majority of the projects executed in the industry today fall in this scope—executed by a small team over a few months. Hence, the goal of this book remains the same as before: introduce to the students a limited number of concepts and practices that will achieve the following two objectives:
• Help students develop the skills needed to build a modest-size application in a small team while employing proper practices and methodologies.
• Provide the students with decent conceptual background for undertaking advanced studies in software engineering.
