About
One of the earliest student textbooks on the (then) emerging field of software engineering. It presents a view of software engineering as practised in the early 1980s, and is oriented around the notion of the software life cycle - requirements, design, implementation, testing and evolution. Rapidly superceded by later editions because the discipline was changing so quickly at that time.
