Product Description
Review
"It's critical for persons in all areas of business to have some familiarity with the rapidly evolving world of communications. This book was the basis for a course at Lucent Technologies focused on introducing financial managers to this area. The material was very successful, got very positive reviews all around, and will continue to be a key part of our education of non-technical managers in important infrastructure markets, technologies, and capabilities."—Donald K. Peterson, Chief Financial Officer, Lucent Technologies
Book Description
Assuming no formal engineering or computer science education, this text prepares readers from various disciplines to take advantage of new information technologies. The goal is to teach leadership skills that readers can utilize throughout their careers, rather than just survival skills. Fundamentals of binary representation. Graphics and visual information. Data compression. Bandwidth and information theory. Transmission and storage technology. Basics of networks, standards, protocols, etc. Internet Applications. Appropriate as an introduction on information technology and engineering for readers outside the electrical engineering and computer science disciplines.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A mediocre book,
By
This review is from: Information Technology: Inside and Outside (Paperback)
The upside is Information Technology Inside and Out is simple and easy to read. The downside is, well, it's simple. It's a good introduction to basic computer concepts, but if you're looking for something more than the basics, looks elsewhere. This book will teach you how binary numbers work, and how sound and image files are stored in digital form, but that's about it.

Covers all major IT concepts,
By Sandy Arun (SL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Information Technology: Inside and Outside (Paperback)
This book gives a concise and impressive insight into all major concepts relating to Information Tehchnology. It is ideal for those who like to grasp the Information Technology concepts in the shortest possible time, which will enable them to be equipped with knowledge that would have taken much much longer time, if not for the distilled facts and coverage done by this book.
