This fully revised version of Douglas Bell’s Software Engineering: A Programming Approach continues to use A Programming Approach
A Programming Approach
the successful formula of the previous editions. The author’s approach is to present the main principles, techniques and tools used in software engineering, one by one, chapter by chapter. He provides the reader fourth edition
with the knowledge to select the appropriate techniques for the project in hand. He builds on the reader’s experience of coding small-scale applications, and examines everything they will need to begin programming large-scale software systems. This book is a unique introduction to software engineering for all students of computer science and its related disciplines. It is also ideal for practitioners wishing to remain current with new developments in the area.
