First published almost ten years ago, Information Systems Development is used by lecturers and
students worldwide. Through long experience of teaching with the text and feedback from colleagues
and students, the authors have continued to build from the solid foundations of the original text.
The new 3rd edition of Information Systems Development has been updated and enhanced to reflect
the latest developments in IS technology, and to meet the needs of a new generation in IS studies. The book contains comprehensive coverage of diverse topics including Oracle applications,
UML notation, RUP, RAD and DSDM. There is a new section on SAP and other ERP systems.
E-commerce and web applications such as Dreamweaver are examined, as well as additional
information on package development and component based design. The authors further illustrate
how these various technologies integrate with social and economic factors to provide a thorough
examination of Information Systems Development. Due to this broad content base, Information Systems Development is suitable for a wide range of
degree programs without impacting the unique requirements of either computer science, or business
and management courses. Both theoretical models and real-world examples provide an engaging
and practical text, and there is considerable web-based support material available for both lecturers
and students. About The Authors David Avison is Professor of Information Systems in the Department of SID at the ESSEC Business
School in Cergy-Pontoise, France. He has published and edited over twenty leading texts on
Information Systems. Guy Fitzgerald is Professor of Information Systems at the School of Information Systems and
Computing at Brunel University. He has published numerous books for both business and academic
audiences, many in conjunction with Professor Avison. |
