Dynamic Link Journal

Computer Science / Documents

Dynamic Link 2011
Every two years, the Department of Computer Science at Calvin publishes its journal Dynamic Link: Christian Perspectives on Software Development. One way to understand the scope of the journal’s coverage is to look at the system development life cycle and consider all the people whose lives are touched by the process.

The journal is also closely associated with the Dynamic Link Conference.

The 2011-2012 Issue Is Here (click here to download):

The articles cover a wide range of subjects and the list below summarizes the contents:
