Does a fair job as an introduction but I will be selling my copy 
I bought this textbook as it was required for one of my courses. I would not consider using any of the advice offered in practice - the book is outdated and very far removed from the reality of software development processes today. Consider picking up a book on the Unified Process or one of the many books on agile methods instead.

Extremely repetitive book
I had to purchase this book as part of a graduate course in information systems. Beign myself a professional programmer and engineer, I am familiar with most of the terms and cases presented in this book. Unfortunately, the material is repeated over and over again. A 50 pages chapter perhaps have less than 10 pages useful content. Some of the topics are irrelevant but they spend a considerable amount of time on them. In short: I will not recomend this book unless you are willing to spend long hours... more info

Excellent Educational Text Book 
This book is extremely helpful. It uses step by step guides to help the reader fully understand the content, plus a life-like story line to help the reader understand the placement of the information studied. I would recommend it to any student or professional who wishes to better their knowledge and understanding of analysis and design of an information system.
