Systems Analysis and Design: An Object-Oriented Approach
with UML, 5th Edition by Dennis, Wixom, and
Tegarden captures the dynamic aspects of the field by keeping
students focused on doing SAD while presenting the core set of
skills that every systems analyst needs to know today and in the
future.


The text enables students to do SAD?not just
read about it, but understand the issues so they can actually
analyze and design systems. The text introduces each major
technique, explains what it is, explains how to do it, presents an
example, and provides opportunities for students to practice before
they do it for real in a project. After reading each chapter, the
student will be able to perform that step in the system development
process.
