Computer press dictionary
Data communications, computer hardware, and dictionary terminology
Michael Shnier - Collection Scott Mueller library
Résumé
I never intended to write a book. I am a data
communications consultant, and I read magazines constantly.
Realizing that I was not remembering most of what I
carefully read, I began by writing down expansions of
acronyms. Then I started recording juicy factoids and
descriptions. Then things sort of got out of control.
Here is the result. Over several years it has grown to
critical mass (and maintaining it is a big part of what I
do every day). I hope you find it a fast and convenient way
to get a basic or updated grasp of that newest
acronym.
This book is not intended to be the definitive or
authoritative work on any of the topics inside. It is a
fast and condensed way to get up-to-speed on topics that
you have heard mentioned by colleagues or seen in magazines
and in advertisements but have not had the time to track.
The many cross-references at the end of each entry show
that it all (sort of) fits together.
Also, this is not intended to be your very first
introduction to computer terms. For example, you need to
already know what a PC is, what a bit and byte are, and the
difference between a floppy and a hard disk drive.
