Classical and Object-oriented Software Engineering (McGraw-Hill International Editions: Computer Science Series)

Integrating case studies to show the object oriented approach to software engineering, "Object-Oriented and Classical Software Engineering, 8/e" presents an excellent introduction to software engineering fundamentals, covering both traditional and object-oriented techniques. While maintaining a unique organization with Part I covering underlying software engineering theory, and Part II presenting the more practical life cycle, the eighth edition includes significant revision to problems, new content, as well as a new chapter to enable instructors to better-utilize the book in a one-semester course. Complementing this well-balanced approach is the straightforward, student-friendly writing style, through which difficult concepts are presented in a clear, understandable manner.
