Developing Information Systems for Windows and Web Applications in Engineering, Business, and Science

<Editorial Reviews>

Review
"This book takes a comprehensive approach to cover the topics of information systems and their development. At the same time it has detailed examples to help readers at different levels. … detailed examples and case studies makes it a good textbook and reference for readers of diverse backgrounds."
―Xiangyang Li, Johns Hopkins University

"The main strength of this book is that it is written by industrial engineering professors that understand how to present important data management concepts to engineers that may not have a computer science background. Most books on data management and information systems are written with the computing professional in mind. This book finally gives engineers an understandable approach to learning the fundamental data management concepts that are relevant to engineering applications."
―Susan D Urban, Texas Tech University

"The book is provides a comprehensive introduction to the concepts of information systems. Furthermore, this book has struck the right balance of having sufficient business case concepts for implementing information systems as well as including important technical theories on designing databases."
―Eugene Rex L. Jalao, Ph.D., University of the Philippines Diliman

"… the most comprehensive book to introduce information system. … covers all the topics related to information system from theoretical background to practical applications. … organized very well and considers the diversity of the readers which will attract a huge number of audiences. … the best textbook for information system related class at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. … covers lots of complex case studies."
―Mengqi Hu, Mississippi State University
