"This book vs my previous guide" according to Amazon Customer. Awesome book. As a freelance software developer, I was previously using the book "Systems Analysis and Design 5th Edition by Dennis, Wixom, Roth" as a reference for the SDLC, but I find this book to be so much better. I just picked it up two days ago and read the first half in one sitting, though I did skim through parts of it. HFSD is very practical, where as SAD5th packs massive details into the book, but lacks the real life usability. Reading this book, I feel like I can take their base process and apply it to my particular needs, and sta. Highly Recommended Book One of the best books I've read about software development. I love the head first series as they made everything simplified and visual.Highly recommended book.. "I like the attitude and the content" according to Amazon Customer. In order to keep this book compact, the authors made choices about what to explain. This makes the book leaner and friendlier, but don't expect the encyclopedic nature of more traditional software engineering books. I like this book because it sets a relatively modest goal, and achieves that goal splendidly.
