Dennis A., Wixom B.H., Roth R.M. Systems Analysis and Design

4th edition. — Wiley, 2008. — 551 p.— ISBN 978-0470228548, 0470228547.The 4th edition of Systems Analysis and Design continues to offer a hands-on approach to SA&D while focusing on the core set of skills that all analysts must possess.
Building on their experience as professional systems analysts and award-winning teachers, authors Dennis, Wixom, and Roth capture the experience of developing and analyzing systems in a way that students can understand and apply.With Systems Analysis and Design, 4th edition, students will leave the course with experience that is a rich foundation for further work as a systems analyst.Preface.
