Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World

by John W. Satzinger, Stephen Burd, Robert L. Jackson

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN IN A CHANGING WORLD teaches the conceptual technical and managerial foundations for systems analysis design and implementation, as well as project management principles for systems development projects. The fifth edition continues the book's popular format of teaching both approaches to systems analysis and design: the traditional (structured) and the object-oriented (OO). This new edition offers expanded coverage of the object-oriented approach to design in two newly formed chapters, with Chapter 11 concentrating on principles and Chapter 12 covering use case realizations in depth. New and enhanced coverage of project management also teaches important issues related to adaptive projects as well as the traditional predictive approach to projects. Added perspective is provided for students via the running case studies and "Best Practices" feature.

Good detailed perspective

An okay textbook with a lot of filler. This book builds off of itself quite a bit and creates some issues in understanding what the key takeaways are. It may be that the course I was taking was strait from cengage but tons of rote memorization which is indexed for easy review but not pragmatic in my opinion. If you are looking for getting an overview the material is extremely dry and doesn't have a lot of direct examples leading the book to seem superficial in comparison to a more in depth guide with some specificity. The book does two things okay rather than one thing well. The breadth of the book is why I am giving it a 4/5. If you are taking it for a class it is good to think of it as two courses in one. Depending on your professor you may or may not get any guidance to what the book is actually trying to accomplish. If you don't already understand SQL go with another book. The use of project management near the end of the course seems rudimentary as well but it does give you a vague glimpse into how things get done in the corporate environment (stating this as a former project manager). I'm not sure if there is a better way to put this information together besides splitting the subject into multiple books. If you are trying to absorb it all in one semester good luck.

It was a good book, but I am not really a fan of such a way of designing software. however, it is worth to have a look at it.

This is such a fantastic book! I could not afford the book, so I rented it and I will need to find a cheaper used "like new" version to use as a desk reference in the future. I think I just aged myself, lol, I don't care! This is really a fantastic book and that is saying alot for a textbook!!!

Some things were poorly explained, or not explained at all. Overall it had some good information though.
