Summary: Information Systems Architecture Course Textbook
Review: Information Systems: Success in the 21st Century by Uma Gupta is an excellent introduction to the many facets of designing a modern information system. I teach the Info Systems Architecture course at Johns Hopkins University and I this is the textbook. It is an ideal book for learning the varied technologies, approaches and architectures available to meet different system needs. It has many diagrams that make the relationships of hardware and software components understandable. A strength of the book is that it does not get bogged down in technical details. It is intended for someone who is interested in getting into the technology field but is not yet ready to, or has no intention of, becoming a computer porgrammer.
