  1. Visit https://connect.mheducation.com and read Chapter 10 on Building Systems and Applications. For those of you with programming experience, much of this will be review, but bear in mind that this chapter deals with theoretical software development as it pertains to the business environment, so there will be some terms and procedures that will be completely new to you. In this regard, I urge you to keep an open mind.
