Computer Systems Development

Computer Systems Development

This book outlines the entire history of computer systems development. Based on surveys from Europe, Japan, Australia, and the United States, it emphasizes the rising concern with user relations as a major shift in systems development.

Systems Development

This book is aimed at the wide audience of future systems developers, which includes people working or studying such areas as business, science, engineering, the social sciences, education, and the liberal arts. The text provides the basic skills and understanding needed by anyone involved with systems development. Offering a comprehensive look at systems development from the initial stage of determining user requirements to the final evaluation of installed systems, the broad scope of the book should help students and readers see the "big picture" of these projects, making analysis and design techniques understandable within the context of the entire systems development process. Students should have some knowledge of computer systems. Beginning students will be best served by a two semester class, while more advanced students should be able to cover the material in one.
