TEXTBOOK & OTHER RESOURCES
This course has one textbook assigned. The required textbook is:
Modern Systems Analysis and Design by Jeffrey A. Hoffer,
Joey F. George and Joseph S. Valacich, Third edition, Addison Wesley (ISBN: 0-13-033990-3)
This textbook is very helpful, well -structured and full of examples and
illustrations. This book offers a comprehensively coverage of basics of software engineering in terms of essential analysis
& design concepts, and illustrates them through running case studies. The third edition is recently published and
includes discussion on new technological developments , business process reengineering and UML standards
in OOA and OOD.

However, live lectures will always add more information,
examples and extensions. You are required to combine both live lectures and lecture notes in PPT with the support of
the textbook. Lecture notes in power point format are available on my website and they summarize every chapter in the
textbook. External readings and citations are very welcome and encouraged. More information/links can be found on the class
WEBCT system.
