This title allows students to do systems analysis and design right from the start. Examples and cases are drawn from actual systems projects that enable students to learn in the context of solving problems, much like the ones they will encounter on the job. A blend of traditional development and current techniques, such as client-server and object-oriented development, graphical user interfaces, and electronic data interchange are provided. The clear writing style makes systems analysis and design easy to understand.
