This book considers a wide range of tasks and processes in the data management and analysis process, and shows how software can help you at each stage. In the new edition, the authors present three case studies with different forms of data (text, video and mixed data) and show how each step in the analysis process for each project could be supported by software.

This is a very good book in guiding students in the process of using software techniques in qualitative analysis
This updated version now features a broader range of software programs for analyzing qualitative research. I believe this text, like the previous version, provides students with a practical approach to using software for qualitative analysis.
An incredibly detailed resource text, yielding nuggets of new information on every reading as the book systematically works through the key stages of qualitative data analysis. Coverage of a range of software programmes is useful, but also serves to highlight what you are missing in your chosen package! The companion website was a convenient link to the step-by-step instructions for the various software packages.
A 'must' text for all qualitative researchers, practitioners and students.
well-written and rigorous.great for under- and postgraduate students
Interesting book for an overview but it requires frequent updates to be an useful tool for research
