5.0 out of 5 stars
Good as an introductory text to System Analysis,
By Konstantin (Inland Empire & San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Systems Analysis and Design (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)
There are few things I can say after reading this book pretty much from cover to cover:- Nowadays there are lots of critics of structured SAD, so if you're happen to be one of them, I am pretty sure you will not give this text a good grade. While it does cover Object-Oriented SAD, it is not build upon it. This text (as it seems to me) is revolves around structured SAD using SDLC. - I liked this text because it has LOTS of colorful diagrams, screen-shots, and charts. This gives a text more alive presentation and makes it more fun to read, even though you're getting lost in terms and abbreviation. - The text has plenty of abbreviations because SAD process integrates all system components. You can imagine how much data that is, especially considering the fact of collecting that data and organizing it. - I thing this text by itself will not make you an system analyst. You will need to read more, but it serves well as an introduction to SAD. The obvious negative thing - these editions that coming up new each year are costly for students, but this is a issue of all comp. textbooks, not just this. Brief contents: -ch 1. Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design PHASE 1: SYSTEM PLANNING -ch 2. Analyzing the business case PHASE 2: SYSTEM ANALYSIS -ch 3. Requirements modeling -ch 4. Data and process modeling -ch 5.

It's a Textbook,
By Jim Cox "jimshappydestiny" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Systems Analysis and Design (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)
It's a textbook. As textbooks go, it's pretty good. Very few textbooks are really worth the prices that are demanded.As is typical with textbooks having to do with technology, there are many errors. Most glaring are the online audio files that do not match up with the text. Presumably, the textbook has changed, but the audio files have not. All textbooks, especially those in engineering and technology concentrations, should be made available on the Internet at significantly reduced prices.
