Modern Structured Analysis

Summary: Good in-depth introduction
Review: When I was at university, this book was my introduction to structured analysis. I found it fun and easy to read (I believe I finished in two weeks). Every aspect of analysis is explained in a very clear way.

It might be true that some of the techniques are outdated, indeed. But beginners need some place to start, and I think this book is great as a first book for someone who tries to get a grip on structured analysis by self-study. By the way some university professors don't even teach such 'recent' developments (I can give some examples).

Besides, about the 'outdated' comment, if you buy a IT-book that was written 8 years ago, you're quite foolish to expect it to have the latest trends and techniques explained!
