UTSpeaks: Software Engineering – Bondage or Discipline?
- 30 August, 2004 12:31
<p>The University of Technology Sydney Is presenting a thought-provoking free public lecture that proposes a tough new look at the need for formal standards and greater accountability in software engineering and it's broad application.</p>
