A complete, but less complex approach to SA&D. Introduction to Systems Analysis & Design is organized like Whitten’s best-selling Systems Analysis & Design Methods, but without the information systems architecture framework theme that overwhelms some students. Each chapter covers the same topics, but stops short of advanced details that are unnecessary to the typical first course.
