An Inspiring Lecture

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals. I found it very inspiring with his positive message. Maybe you've seen it or maybe you haven't, check it out here.

Randy Pausch is a computer science professor. He has created an educational software that teaches younger students programming. I have not tried it yet but check it out here.

Developing a Software Project Plan

I have not written a project plan. Is it important to know how to write one? I think the contents of the plan would include an overview and design structure. The overview will have a mission statement and a list of goals. The design structure will have the system implementation with the classes and methods.
