Book Description
From Book News, Inc.
This is a reference for serious information technology folk, or those who don't want to be in the dark when a new term crosses their path. First it was a website where its creator, Lowell Thing, began assembling definitions for his
own amusement; but he kept at it, accumulating more and more definitions and explanations. The site was bought out in 2000 by TechTarget but continues with Thing at the helm. Here are alphabetically arranged definitions of 10,000-plus information
technology terms and acronyms, with thousands of cross references. Coverage includes terminology related to hardware, software, networking, the web and internet, storage, wireless systems, and security. A fast reference section gives access to some
useful data.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
