I just finished a system analysis & design course with this text book. A through-semester project was also done. Actually, I had a chance to compare severals book on System Analysis & Design.

This is a very recommended book for those people that are studying Systems Analysis and Design, because it explains in a simple mode the most complicated things; and includes another methodologies further the structured (like OO and RAD)!. If you are looking for a complete book in Systems, this is The book.Also recommended: Systems Analysis and Design; Julie and Kenneth Kendall.

Discusses in detail about each phase of SDLC and the people and tools related to the Information Systems Developement. Excellent book for students doing Systems analysis and design.
