Systems Analysis and Design and the Transition to Objects - Rilegato

Dewitz, Sandra Donaldson

 
9780070167636: Systems Analysis and Design and the Transition to Objects

Sinossi

This text emphasizes object-oriented design and covers traditional analysis and design paradigms. It stresses learn-by-doing with all major concepts supported by a running case study throughout the text, exercises, and a companion Project Workbook. The projects in the Workbook are based on the use of a CASE tool (software that helps systems analysts develop computer systems by integrating various diagramming and charting tools through a data encyclopedia). Coverage includes all the HOT topics -- RAD, JAD, Client/Server, and Prototyping.
