This book is prepared first of all for the students, who would like to became
an expert in the field of information technology,
system engineering and computer science,
and who are willing to be a good engineer (system analyst and designer
in this context), but this book is proposed for the specialists in practice
as well. The author dicusses all of the important questions about the information
systems, the IT possibilities, and she gives a very good summary of the
main tasks, techniques and tools nessesary in the hole IE life cycle. The
book is the only up-to-date one in Hungarian language, which deals not
only with the different paradigm, methods, techniques and tools of IE,
but describes some development methodologies showing patterns as well.
Some very practical books belong to this volume: IRT2,
IRT3,
IRT4, Decision-Making,
in which the Readers can find the right way of the engineering work with
very good examples and case studies.
