Description
Great effort has been invested in writing a book which introduces readers to fundamental areas of system analysis and design. This book can be used as a foundation for analysis and design of systems in a programme, Computer Science and IS. It is suitable for students who are pursuing a basic course in these areas for the very first time.
Written in an easy and simple to read manner, this book targets students who may or may not use English as their first language. With this in mind, this book emphasises use of words and phrases which are easy to understand. Jargon, if any, is further explained and elaborated.
The design of the content itself is unique. The contents have been carefully and logically grouped into various chapters; each chapter focuses only on a few related topics or sub-topics. The chapters are written in logical sequence. Generally, knowledge gained in a chapter will help to enhance understand to the following chapter. Such an arrangement will allow readers to acquire knowledge more naturally and smoothly.
The content layout, on the other hand, deserves mentioning, Contents are purposefully crafted into main headings and sub-headings. Clever use of highlights, such as italics and bold characters enhance focus on certain important key words. Points or facts in a topic are carefully broken up with each point described and presented in short paragraphs. Each paragraph may be numbered or preceded with a bullet and/or a heading for easy reading and memorising.
In order to help students understand the various topics covered, this book has included a number of specially designed questions which students can practise on.
