Rating: - It's a Textbook
It's a textbook. As textbooks go, it's pretty good. Very few textbooks are really worth the prices that are demanded.

All textbooks, especially those in engineering and technology concentrations, should be made available on the Internet at significantly ... Read More

Also, the Student Study Guide provided on CD-ROM with the text is not useful for quick review of the text for an exam as each chapter takes up 80 slides ... Read More

It contains a CD-rom with summaries of each chapter as well as well as weblinks, glossaries of each chapter and chapter outlines. There are no design tools CASE tools however.
Content: This book is a very good introduction to systems analysis and design: the operative word being INTRODUCTION. It paints a very broad picture in reasonable detail. ... Read More
