Introduction to Software Engineering presents the basics of software engineering in a concise and direct format. With emphasis on Internet technology, software tools for programming, and hands-on learning, this book effectively prepares students to move from the academic setting to applying their knowledge to complex projects faced in the professional arena. The author's outstanding hybrid approach combines object-oriented technology and classical programming techniques to solve computing problems. He also emphasizes Internet technology and resources. A simple but non-trivial running example illustrates all stages of the software engineering process.
