Introduction

Software development is the most important process in developing a software/tool. The successful execution of the project highly depends on the techniques used to develop the model. Apart from this, different problems can be tackled and resolved efficiently at the appropriate phase. Here, the use of open source for all the modules, i.e. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is emphasized, which is used for many purposes like view, modify, redistribute, and improve the source code. Software development techniques are used on a large scale by various organizations. Using the techniques appropriately is a challenge.

IIT Bombay, had conducted workshops, and trained teachers all over India through remote centres. The lectures were transmitted live, and were received at various remote centres across the country, through synchronous distance mode, along with the interaction of participants. The video, presentations, and downloads offered here will help students, teachers, working professionals, and entrepreneurs to master and apply the appropriate techniques at the right time.
