Week 5: User Stories, Class Diagrams, Version Control (Git)

In this week, we look at user stories, which is the agile way of documenting requirements, and compare them to use cases and use case scenarios. Then, the first concepts of class diagrams are introduced which allow to discuss more abstractly about software design than the programs themselves. At the end, we look at git, a version control system. This allows one to take snapshots of ones developement steps and supports concurrent development of software.
