Parts 2 & 3: Fundamentals of Software Engineering and the Evolution of Software
These sources collectively explore secured software engineering, beginning with fundamental definitions of software and engineering, and categorising various types of software. They thoroughly discuss programming languages, tracing their historical evolution through generations, outlining different paradigms such as procedural and object-oriented programming, and explaining execution models like compiled and interpreted approaches. A significant focus is placed on the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on software development, introducing concepts like Natural Language Programming and Prompt Engineering. The sources delineate three eras of software—Software 1.0 (human-authored code), Software 2.0 (data-driven machine learning), and Software 3.0 (AI-generated code)—highlighting shifts towards greater automation and AI autonomy. Finally, they provide strategic recommendations for language selection across different technical domains, considering trade-offs and emerging trends, including the increasing adoption of Rust and TypeScript, and the rise of multi-language systems.

Parts 4-8: Deep Dive into the traditional best practices of Software Engineering
The provided sources collectively offer a comprehensive overview of secured software engineering (SSE), highlighting its evolution from traditional software development lifecycle (SDLC) models. They explain how SSE, intrinsically linked with the DevSecOps movement, proactively integrates security throughout every phase of software creation, from initial planning to post-deployment maintenance, rather than as an afterthought. This is achieved through the implementation of Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery/Deployment, and Continuous Security (CI/CD/CS) pipelines, utilizing various automated security testing tools like SAST, DAST, SCA, and RASP. The texts also discuss essential key performance indicators (KPIs), including DORA metrics and security-specific metrics, and underscore the critical role of leadership, education, and collaboration in fostering a robust DevSecOps culture.
