| MICROSOFT COMPUTER DICTIONARY |
Computers--and the community of people that surrounds them--do an excellent job of generating jargon. they've created a world of rj-11 jacks, lempel ziv compression, tacacs protocols, and data forks. microsoft computer dictionary, fourth edition, explains all these terms and thousands more. it's a sort of miniencyclopedia of computing topics.
the dictionary focuses on providing beginning and intermediate computer users with a solid grounding in terms, technologies, and concepts related to productivity software, databases, and networks. communications technologies--such as those related to mobile phones--get attention too. this latest edition of the dictionary includes a selection of terms related to the year 2000 bug, though these terms are inexplicably isolated in a special appendix.
the microsoft computer dictionary generally treats non-microsoft technologies evenhandedly--the entries related to sun microsystems' java language might even be construed as boosterish. however, a microsoft slant sometimes appears, as in the coverage of palm-size pcs. there's no mention of 3com's topselling palm computers or its operating systems, though windows ce is mentioned.
cross-referencing, particularly of acronyms, is excellent. the companion cd-rom allows you to quickly search for dictionary terms and also includes the microsoft manual of style for technical publications. --david wall the fifth edition of the award-winning microsoft computer dictionary now features more than 10,000 entries! it's been fully updated and expanded to cover the latest technologies and terminology you will encounter at work or home-from encryption to xml, linux to microsoft .net, tablet pcs to digital tv. microsoft computer dictionary clearly and authoritatively defines computer terms and concepts-including the myriad acronyms, jargon, and slang the high-tech industry generates!
