Product Description
Product Description
The highly regarded textbook, "Software Systems Development: A Gentle Introduction", provides a firm grounding in the principles of this topic in a clear, concise and lively form. The authors explain techniques and practices that are universally applicable to software systems development using a traditional structured approach, providing a solid background for aspiring software developers to build upon. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to develop coverage of topics such as SQL, agile methods and object-orientation. The authors' accessible, jargon-free approach to systems analysis and design is ideally suited to computer science students on an introductory course or to those from other disciplines with an interest in software development.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent text, taking the 'newbie' database/system developer through all the stages necessary for analysing requirements for a system, through to designing the data structure and other data modelling techniques, aided by a case study that underpins the various activities. It even makes data normalisation seem less frightening!
To be honest, the current or any earlier editions are just as good - not too much has changed other than the cover changing from a nice 'austerity' gold and white to a colourful view of wind turbines (and what do they have to do with systems development?) - and earlier editions should be somewhat cheaper too!

Listmania!
