The rationale behind this "bottom-up" approach, one that is much more pragmatic than other software engineering texts, is that students need to understand and be able to apply programming principles before they can contemplate the concepts involved in software engineering.
Douglas Bell has updated its content to reflect current trends and new advancements in the field as well as adding new pedagogical features, such as an initial overview of the software process. This will show students how the various topics of software engineering tie together. Includes examples and discussions of Java:UML.

From the Back Cover
The third edition is an update of the original text written by Bell, Morrey and Pugh and further develops the programming approach taken by these authors. The new edition however, being updated by a single author, presents a more coherent and fully integrated text. It also includes recent developments in the field and new chapters include those on- formal development, software management, prototyping, process models and user interface design.
The programming approach emphasized in this text builds on the reader’s understanding of small-scale programming and extends this knowledge into the realm of large-scale software engineering. This helps the student to understand the current challenges of software engineering as well as developing an understanding of the broad range of techniques and tools that are currently available in the industry.
Particular features of the third edition are-
· a pragmatic, non-mathematical approach
· an overview of the software development process is included
· self-test questions in each chapter ensure understanding of the topic
· extensive exercises are provided at the end of each chapter
· an accompanying website extends and updates material in the book
· use of Java throughout as an illustrative programming language
· consistent use of UML as a design notation
Douglas Bell is a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, England. He has authored and co-authored a number of texts including, most recently, Java for Students.
