Teaching software engineering at BFH with Kent Beck's "Tidy First"

i’m teaching a software engineering course at BFH next semester. The core of the course is based on the content of a thin book by Kent Beck. “Tidy First“ From the forward by Larry Constantine: In assembling this guide to practice, Kent ultimately draws on the real-world economics of software development along with core theory in software engineering. That core theory is simply this: that the complexity of computer code depends on how it is organized into parts, on how coupled those parts are with each other and on how cohesive the parts are in themselves. … Coupling and cohesion are really all about how your brain deals with complicated systems.
