Systems Analysis and Design Methods, Sixth Edition, builds upon this book's previous success by emphasizing systems analysis and design techniques for developing client/server and Web-centric applications.

Balanced coverage of both structured and object-oriented methods exposes readers to the two varieties of designing systems and provides the most examples of systems analysis and design deliverables available in any book today.
