Customer Reviews

Incredible book!

When looking for a dictionary of computing terms, the search was very limited, as there seem to be very few on the market. I looked around and decided to go with this one. This book is absolutely perfect. The definitions are even better than glossaries for other computer books. It has just about every word related to computing with detailed, easy-to-understand, accurate definitions. If you're mislead because it's inexpensive, let me tell you it's worth much more than it's priced at.
