| Methods and Techniques | 1. Theoretical Explanation: The topics are explained theoretically within the scope of the course. Students listen to topic explanations in order to understand the basic concepts of programming and the logic of algorithms. 2. Applied Studies: Students carry out studies with various examples under the mentorship of the course instructor in order to apply the topics explained theoretically. Gains are tried to be achieved. 3. Step-by-Step Solution: The encountered problems are solved step by step and how each step works is explained. With this method, students are provided with a better command of the topics. 4. Real Life Examples: Real life examples and problem scenarios are presented for a better understanding of the topics. In this way, students see how to use what they have learned in practice. 5. Laboratory Sheets and Quizzes: Students' progress is evaluated with weekly laboratory handouts and pre-exam quizzes, and whether the topics are understood is monitored. |

Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach students the techniques required to carry out software development processes more effectively and efficiently and to provide professional skills in software projects. Within the scope of the course, students will gain knowledge about basic topics such as software development life cycle, project management, software design, version control, test automation and documentation.
Students will learn and apply current techniques such as object-oriented programming, agile methodologies, DevOps practices, test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) in software projects. At the end of the course, they will be able to take an active role in the software development process and continue software projects with modern tools used in teamwork.
This course aims to increase students' analytical thinking, problem solving and quality software production competencies in software development processes and prepares them for software development processes in the sector.
