Systems analysis design methods

Systems Analysis and Design Methods, sixth edition, is intended to support one or more practical courses in information systems development. These courses are normally taught to both information systems and business majors at the sophomore junior, senior, or graduate level.

We recommend that students take a computer- and information systems-literacy course before using this text. While not required or assumed, a programming course can significantly enhance the learning experience provided by this textbook.
