5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dictionary, 24 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Computing science is a real subject since this decade. Most of the knowledge are not gathered into text or theory. Most of them are just programming language without comprehensive and basic theory support. Most students find hard to link the fundamentals together. This dictionary gathers all the important terms and technical names in there, which helped the confused students to make their study a lot more easy.
Just buy it! It's a good reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beginner's Help, 7 Jun 2009
By Dr. James T. W. Robertson (Andover, Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reference, 4 April 2009
By Ian Appleton "Appers" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
