Reviews
Alpha Sigma Nu 2015 Book Award Winner Software Essentials covers the material of software design and construction, an area where the field has made very rapid progress in the last few decades. The material is both accessible for disparate audiences and up to date. -Alpha Sigma Nu Judge Dr. Dingle's Software Essentials: Design and Construction is a superb companion for a pre, concomitant, and post-study of a 100 through 400 level college education in computer science. The principles outlined in her book are language agnostic and find application amongst myriad language choices faced by modern system developers. Her work provides missing discussion about object-oriented design and dynamic programming considerations that are difficult to glean from a strict, detail oriented, programming approach. This higher level discussion is perfect for students and professionals with a modicum of procedural experience to work with the details of what they already know while allowing them to understand a higher level of abstraction and generality to which their skills are transparently and specifically germane. -Bruce Cresanta, Entrepreneur
