Description
Revised and expanded, this book is arranged into five major parts: context, techniques, tools, methods and environmental issues. A number of new chapters are included, covering such topics as business analysis, project managment, the social dimension of information systems development, object-oriented programming and user interface development. In addition to exercises and case studies with each chapter, there is a central case study that runs through the text to which each of the major techniques discussed is applied in order to demonstrate how a coherent specification can be built for an information system. It includes a dictionary of information systems terminology.
