Summary

Software engineers are looking for a book that doesn't just cover software engineering but actually gets them to apply concepts. The new second edition provides a more balanced approach, offering comprehensive discussions of concepts with case studies, coverage of teams, and hundreds of examples. It was built around the idea of using object-orientation from the beginning, including the requirements analysis stage. A longitudinal case study using IEEE standards is also implemented throughout the chapters. Software engineers will quickly learn the complexities in the field as they write their own programs.
