MASSOLIT Best Practice in Software Development

This lecture introduces best practice in software development through a curriculum-linked video lesson aimed at GCSE, A Level and IB students. It looks at how software differs from other kinds of programme, particularly in terms of scale, complexity and the fact that software applications often contain unique elements.

The lecture also explores the idea of best practice as a set of approaches for managing complex software development projects. It places this within the wider history of the subject by looking at the earlier “Wild West” period of software development that came before more structured methods became established.

Produced by MASSOLIT, the lesson is designed as part of a larger sequence of educational content on software development. The page also indicates that this is the first lesson only, with additional lessons available to logged-in users.
