Product Description

Synopsis

Computer technology is constantly developing, which is why this title has undergone a complete revision, making it a virtually brand new quick-reference book for all computer users. The authors have expanded it to include more than 2,500 alphabetically arranged computer-related terms and definitions. They emphasise what they call the "human side" of computing, explaining terms as well as defining them in clear non-technical language wherever possible. Filled with enlightening illustrations, diagrams, and tables.

5.0 out of 5 stars Computer Dictionaries are Hard to Keep Current, 21 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms (Barron's business guides) (Vinyl Bound)
This pocket book contains clear and simple explanations and illustrations. This dictionary is probably ideal for the beginning to strong intermediate user who wants to have a reference at hand which gets to the point and leaves you feeling informed. It is well cross referenced, and strong on Internet terminology. Despite its very manageable size one rarely has occasion to look up terms not described in the dictionary. If you were to have just one computer dictionary then, for most users, this would be it. Users who feel very ill at ease with computer terminology may however want to consider 'Webster's New World Dictionary of Computer Terms', a equally good book which written with a slightly more experienced audience in mind.

This 'Barrons Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms' is one of the best dictionaries of computer terms I've seen on the market. But as any other computer dictionary this one is also difficult to keep current and updated. The subject changes too much to have a good guide in printed form. But I love this book very much and recommend it to everyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Computer dictionary's are difficult to keep current, 13 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dictionary of Computer and Internat Terms (Barron's Educational Series) (Paperback)
Because of the popularity of the Internet, computer's have become very popular. The technology has leap-frogged several times during the past year.

This book has a lot of dated terms that do not apply to today's environment. An example is: Hayes Compatible Modem. The Hayes Company and the Hayes brand are now defunct.

XML is not mentioned as a computer term. Other new terms are not mentioned either.

This subject changes too much to have a good guide in paper form.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good quick lookup!, 28 Feb 2000
This review is from: Dictionary of Computer and Internat Terms (Barron's Educational Series) (Paperback)
As with most computing books, they are soon out of date, but this is a dictionary that will help keep you informed of the troublesome TLA (three letter acronyms) that appear in many computer books and magazines. Ok so it's not perfect, but neither is the Oxford English dictionary. Buy it use and enjoy it.
