This course is on the Principles of Safe Software.
Software safety can be a daunting subject. Software development is challenging and, as we will see, it is a very risky business. Safety is also intangible, and people are nervous about it.
You may look at this subject and wonder: how could I possibly get into software safety? How do you develop safe software? I don’t even know where to begin … but it need not be so!
