Product Description

Book Description

Computer terminology is constantly expanding, and the brand-new edition of this dictionary has been updated to keep pace with the latest important innovations in computer science and technology. Emphasis is on helpful information for non-technical home computer users. The book presents more than 3,200 computer-related terms with clear and succinct definitions. Revised features include up-to-date information on Windows Vista, networking, data storage, video, computer security and ethics, and personal computer hardware. Tables, charts, graphs, photos, and line illustrations.

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, Sep 12 2001
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than average., April 28 2007
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars YOUR EARLY COMPANION, Dec 24 2002
By 
reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
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.
