Suggested links lead to further information which is relevant to the course and thus may be of interest to you. Recommended links lead to further information on specific lecture topics and will be examinable.
Note that the recommended and suggested readings are both in addition to reading from the course books: Using UML (Stevens and Pooley) and Software Engineering (Sommerville). The required readings from these books are listed on the course timetable. Readings from Using UML will be examinable; readings from Software Engineering are mostly background and provide more detail on topics you have covered both in this course and previously in CS2.
