Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Explains computer terms and acronyms, detailing what each acronym stands for and which other terms are related to it

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Traditional computer dictionaries provide a short identifying definition, but the information is often frustratingly incomplete. You need more than an expansion of the acronym - you need enough information to understand the term's importance, context, and scope. The Dictionary of PC Hardware and Data Communications Terms gives each term the breadth of definition it deserves. It tells you what the acronym stands for; where the technology is used and what it does; which other terms are related to it; which technologies it competes with; whether it is a standard, and if so, who supports it; whether there are problems or shortcomings you need to know about; when it was released, and what enhancements you can find in its current version; and where you can get more information about it. More importantly, this book won't go stale. O'Reilly & Associates has created a Web site, maintained by the author, where you'll always be able to find the latest information. You'll be able to look up a term by acronym or expansion and see what's new. Get started with this book; it's the one source you need.
