Product Description
For use as a primary text for courses on using the Internet or as a supplement for computer literacy courses that cover networking or the Internet.
Doug Comer's, The Internet Book, Third Edition utilizes a non-technical perspective to explain the technology of how computers communicate, what the Internet is, how the Internet works, and what the Internet can do for people. This book works to fully connect students to the “big picture” by presenting a solid overview of networking and the Internet, rather than burying them with details. Comer assumes no prior background in computer networking or the Internet.
From the Author
Intended for beginnersWhen I wrote "The Internet Book" my intended audience was would be network administrators and those just beginning to get involved in network architectures in a professional sense. Essentially, these are people whose place of work assigned them the responsibility of network creation/administration because "there was no one else to do it."
I have been pleasantly surprised by how many college students have also latched on to my work as a source of basic information about the Internet and what makes it work.
To all my readers I say thank you and keep your eyes peeled for my other titles.
Sincerely, D.C.
