Synopsis

This complete introduction to data communications prepares tomorrow's information systems professionals with the fundamental concepts and skills they'll need to make the most of the booming telecommunications revolution. This highly readable survey of data communications topics keeps a balance between the super-technical and the watered-down, providing a solid understanding not only of how things work, but how they can be applied to create business solutions. An accompanying CD-ROM provides 14 modules, one per chapter, that make concepts come to life and allow hands-on practice of skills.
