Product Description
Book Description
More than 2,500 key terms related to computer science, the Internet, and the IT industry are defined and explained in this up-to-date, A-to-Z dictionary. Extensive coverage is given to latest advances in digital photography and audio, recently developed computer hardware, virus protection, Internet culture, and much more. Here is handy, at-your-fingertips information that is useful to everybody who owns a computer.
From the Author
Our goal in writing this book is to explain, not just define. We feel you have a right to know how your computer works, not just how to use it. Thus, we cover not only business software, personal computers, and the Internet, but also fundamentals such as computer architecture and binary arithmetic.
This edition adds over 200 new entries, including new coverage of Windows 2000 and substantially increased coverage of UNIX, networking, and Internet commerce, as well as a dozen new illustrations. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Leslie Allen (phila,pa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms (Vinyl Bound)
I teach computers and this is one of the recommended requirements for my students. There are acronyms, terminology, history, pictures, etc. in this book. Highly recommended.

Much better than average.,
By T Dude "Trey" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms (Vinyl Bound)
I found this dictionary to be of pretty good value, with the information being relatively current and up to date. While the dictionary tries to cover to wide a range of terminology (from digital photography to programming), I found that most of the content to be useful.As a resource for explaining most computer and internet terminology it's pretty good. As a resource for explaining digital photography or programming...well there are only so many pages. Overall, decent value if you're looking for a handy-dandy pocket book reference.

YOUR EARLY COMPANION,
By reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms (Vinyl Bound)
If you are an average computer (or Internet) user whose requirements include a portable Computer/Internet Dictionary, I will recommend this one. It is handy, concise, and easy-to-use. But, if your computer knowledge is advanced, it will be wise to look for something else. This dictionary will not be of much benefit to you. It has a beginner's outlook; and offers a modest 2,500 definitions.
