The best selling guide to both practitioners and students of software development. This new edition has been restructured to accommodate the dramatic growth in the field and to emphasize new and important software engineering methods and tools. Restructured organization divides the 24 chapters of the third edition into five manageable parts to enable an instructor to "cluster" topics. Included is a "System of Instruction" including text, 10 videos on CASE (computer-aided software engineering), transparency masters (200) and special arrangement with vendor-provided CASE tools. Also included are three new chapters on software metrics, estimation and project plannng replacing original chapter on software project management. Other new chapters are included on user interface design, structured analysis, and a chapter on object-oriented analysis and data modeling. The role of automation in software engineering is presented in three more new chapters on computer-aided software engineering (CASE). Many new examples, problems and points to ponder have also been added.

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
