Course Overview

Students will write a software application that implements the business ideas developed in CSC454/2526 (Business of Software). This course will expose students to the core technologies, ideas, and processes in developing a startup.

Students will be given a theme in which to develop a startup. Students are expected to:

  • Define their own scope of problem within the theme
  • Develop a cohesive plan
  • Produce a working MVP (minimum viable product)
  • Present their work in various mediums, including written, orally, visually, and through the internet.

Class time will be a mixture of project-focused workshops, lectures, and discussions. The class will be small and very interactive. Students may hear from guest lecturers from the field.
