Product Description
Product Description
This best-selling dictionary has been fully revised by a team of computer specialists, making it the most up-to-date and authoritative guide to computing available. With expanded coverage of networking and databases, feature spreads on key topics, e.g. XML, and the addition of biographical entries, it is a comprehensive reference work encompassing all aspects of the subject. Containing over 6,500 entries -many new to this edition- it is as valuable for home and office users as it is indispensible for students of computing. Recommended web links for many entries, accessible via the Dictionary of Computing companion website, provide valuable further information. It also contains coverage of computer terms in industry, school, work, education, and the home, including the Internet, multimedia, networks and databases, and security. Terms are defined in a jargon-free and concise manner with helpful examples where relevant. This dictionary is suitable for anyone who uses computers, and is ideal for students of computing and the related fields of IT, maths, physics, media communications, electronic engineering, and natural sciences.

For an elderly computing beginner, I suppose the Dictionary of Computing is perhaps too advanced: I had no idea the subject is so vast, and at top levels, really a branch of mathematics. However, I have found it of great help even at my elementary stage, and I don't know if there could have been a simpler volume. At all events, I am well satisfied with my purchase from Amazon, and particularly with the speed and efficiency of their service.

Being an older-generation computer user, and not having been brought up in this technological age, this book is a 'Must' I just cannot remember all the computer slang so the book lays by by the side of my keyboard. I'm afraid I'm a rather sad case.

This is a really good computing reference book although there are things that should be in there but aren't (like EXIF for insatnce). Well worth the money and an essential book for any computer library.
