Spreadsheets, a prime example of end-user programming environments widely used in business for data analysis. However, Excel functionalities have limits compared to dedicated programming languages. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a prototype for integrating Python’s capabilities into Excel through on-premises desktop to build custom spreadsheet functions with Python. This approach overcomes potential latency issues associated with cloud-based solutions. This prototype utilizes Excel-DNA and IronPython. Excel-DNA allows creating custom Python functions that seamlessly integrate with Excel’s calculation engine. IronPython enables the execution of these Python (CSFs) directly within Excel. C# and VSTO add-ins form the core components, facilitating communication between Python and Excel. This approach empowers users with a potentially open-ended set of Python (CSFs) for tasks like mathematical calculations, statistical analysis, and even predictive modeling, all within the familiar Excel interface. This prototype demonstrates smooth integration, allowing users to call Python (CSFs) just like standard Excel functions. This research contributes to enhancing spreadsheet capabilities for end-user programmers by leveraging Python’s power within Excel. Future research could explore expanding data analysis capabilities by expanding the (CSFs) functions for complex calculations, statistical analysis, data manipulation, and even external library integration. The possibility of integrating machine learning models through the (CSFs) functions within the familiar Excel environment.展开更多

文摘Practice is an important phase in the teaching of software engineering.How to improve students' practical ability is a common problem for many software colleges.The course of Software Project Practice is proposed to enhance students' practical skills.In this course,the students participate in the whole process of software development practice and take the exercise of entrepreneurial project development in their learning stage.

文摘In order to solve the problem of insufficient integration of school-enterprise supervisors in the current school-enterprise cooperation model,this article introduces the ideas and results of the construction of a team with double-qualified instructors majored in software engineering.Specifically,the integration of production and education are carried out in three stages,i.e.,enterprise cooperation courses,enterprise internship,and graduation design(internship),by taking the software engineering major of the School of Information and Software Engineering of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China as a case study.

文摘The general human factors analysis analyzes human functions,effects and influence in a system.But in a narrow sense,it analyzes human influence upon the reliability of a system,it includes traditional human reliability analysis,human error analysis,man-machine interface analysis,human character analysis,and others.A software development project in software engineering is successful or not to be completely determined by human factors.In this paper,we discuss the human factors intensions,declare the importance of human factors analysis for software engineering by listed some instances.At last,we probe preliminarily into the mentality that a practitioner in software engineering should possess.
