Software development major mainly involves three aspects of knowledge structure, namely, basic disciplines, computer foundation and software development technology.
Basic subjects include advanced mathematics, linear algebra, probability theory, discrete mathematics, physics, digital electricity, analog electricity and other courses, among which mathematics is the key course of software development specialty and must be given enough attention. Mathematics is not only a compulsory part of the postgraduate entrance examination for computer majors, but also of great significance to software development, because the problem of software development is ultimately a mathematical problem. If you want to have a better development on the road of software development, you must have a solid mathematical foundation.
Computer basic courses include operating system architecture, computer network, data structure, algorithm design, compilation principle, programming language, database and so on. These courses are very important basic courses, especially data structure and algorithm design. For students majoring in software development, these basic courses will lay a solid foundation for future postgraduate study and work. A better learning method is to read the core source code of Linux operating system in the undergraduate stage, so that you can not only understand the operating system systematically, but also exercise your programming ability.
Software development technology is mainly aimed at the current hot technical direction, such as Web development, big data development, mobile Internet development and so on. Different schools usually have specific subdivision directions, and students can choose according to their knowledge structure and hobbies. If you have a strong learning ability, you can consider the development direction of big data. At present, it is in the early stage of big data application, and there will be more big data development jobs in the future, and the employment prospects are worth looking forward to.
