Simple, terse, odd organization, great supplemental materials. No treatments of Object Oriented methods. The coverage is extensive, thus, you can 'pick and choose' the topics you want to use. It's not practical enough, and emphasises front-end business analysis more than actual design. It is good in pointing out steps to take.
Students find it excessively wordy, but have found the details helpful.
It is weak in terms of addressing the development of objectives and user requirements. Has been my text for several years. Verbose, costly, and often numbingly boring for students. Comprehensive and dogmatic. Scant treatment of object oriented methods.
