Synopsis
Previous editions of this unique dictionary received wide acclaim from students and professionals alike. They welcomed it for providing convenient and easy-to-use access to the complex terminology of computer science and information technology. This third edition reflects recent advances in all aspects of computing, especially new approaches to programming, computer architecture, and new computer languages. Over 550 new entries describe developments in software, hardware, microcomputing, networking, and information management. Technical terms are lucidly and concisely explained, while important social and legal issues receive in-depth attention. The entries--which extend to over 4500 terms-- have been written by noted experts in their respective areas. Useful diagrams and tables supplement the text where appropriate. This remarkable reference will be invaluable for all those using computers in their school, business, or home, as well as for general readers who seek current information concerning the fast-growing world of computers.
