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.
