You cannot find another one that can fulfill all the objectives needed in writing a project for Computing and Information System. It gives us a detailed and comprehensive information yet beneficial for all of us striving for the completion of a satisfatory project if we follow the paths directed in this book.
All in all, a good book that can stand for many decades with continuous revision and enhancement to keep up with the current situation.
