4.0 out of 5 stars A great glossary of all the basic IT jargon for none IT folk, 20 May 1999
By A Customer
Users of IT and students learning about IT will find this glossary everso useful. It explains those IT terms and jargon in plain English. IT folk use terms like "TCP/IP" or "network" or "driver" as if everyone knows what they are talking about. This great glossary from the British Computer Society is just what is needed to de-mystify things. It also has some diagrammes to help readers understand some basic IT architectures.

So, whether you are an IT novice, mystified IT user or just plain interested, this book is worth looking at.
