Systems Analysis and Design

by Alan Dennis, Barbara Wixom, Roberta M. Roth

With the overarching goal of preparing the analysts of tomorrow, Systems Analysis and Design offers students a rigorous hands-on introduction to the field with a project-based approach that mirrors the real-world workflow. Core concepts are presented through running cases and examples, bolstered by in-depth explanations and special features that highlight critical points while emphasizing the process of "doing" alongside "learning." As students apply their own work to real-world cases, they develop the essential skills and knowledge base a professional analyst needs while developing an instinct for approach, tools, and methods. Accessible, engaging, and geared toward active learning, this book conveys both essential knowledge and the experience of developing and analyzing systems; with this strong foundation in SAD concepts and applications, students are equipped with a robust and relevant skill set that maps directly to real-world systems analysis projects.

Well, If you want to know more about system analysis and design, this is the best book you may find!
It takes you through the whole process in a very comprehensive way.
Also, if you study business, MIS, or IS you may consider to read it b/c it would be recommended at some point.

Latest text book for master's course of the same title. Typical text book...nothing stellar. Layout is less than ideal and the authors struggle to communicate concepts. Diagrams and images look outdated.

A whirlwind of a novel, with a coterie of flawed heroes and heroines. A Djinni could not have invented a more intense rotation of drama, love, and moral exploration.




Well, in all seriousness, it is actually a pretty good Systems Analysis book that drives one through the Systems Development Life Cycle.

Reading for NURS 786 Systems Analysis and Design, Spring 2013. This was actually pretty easy to read (as far as textbooks go). I like the case studies at the end of each chapter.
