Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms
Thank you for the fast delivery.The dictionary was in excellent condition and most useful to me as a study reference for my exam.

5-0 out of 5 stars Real Help Understanding Computerese
If only I had known about this gem of a book sooner!The Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms FINALLY gives me somewhere to turn
when I run into one of those words so frequently found in Computerese, the name that I use for the language of Computers.

Prior to finding this book, I spent countless hours trying to find out what a specific term or word meant.Suddenly...FTP instead of
saying something to me like "F indT his P uppy" magically became "F ile T ransfer P rotocol" in two blinks of an eye! Then, even
greater wonder of wonders....the Dictionary proceeds to explain what it is and how it is applied in everyday Computer Use!

There are over 500 fact packed pages in this Dictionary, making it the Rosetta Stone of Computerese! If you plan to continue to
associate yourself with the World of Computers, this book is a Welcome MUST!I recommend it highly!

4-0 out of 5 stars a solid worth while source book
This is the latest in the Barron's Business Guide on Computer and Internet terms. It is up to date has has over 3200 key terms made easier to understand by diagram, pictures or examples (as in programming). There are some terms not covered for some reason such as the types of networks, only a generic reference that if you were looking up networks you would know anyway. I hope they correct this over-sight and add more network terms but otherwise a very useful and helpful book.

5-0 out of 5 stars I'm faithful to this likewise faithful companion.
First off, I hope people see my review and that Amazon does something about the reviews connected to this publication.You will notice a couple reviews after mine that are recent enough, but most are from what I saw as far back as 1999 and more.This edition was released in April of 2009, and those reviews are complaining about omissions and typos. This most likely due to it previously smaller size.I have no idea.But I have never had a problem of accuracy with this series, however, it would be totally forgivable and acceptable with the plethora of information provided here.

I have been using computers in some capacity for over 20 years, and been online since the 90's. I got a job at the offices of the first Cybercafe which became a chain, so I all of a sudden needed to know everything about the internet. Luckily at time, not many knew about it at all. And the thorn of the internet's side, called AOL, was an unknown entity.But, AOL and all other types of providers sprung up rapidly all around us, and be it freezing Macs or PCs crashing with Windows 3, I had a lot to learn. Entered bookstore.Bought a ton of books.And have used only THIS one ever since. At that time, it was more like a little booklet to refer to in my pocket when I screwed something up etc.

Through the years, everything grew, including the content of this little book. It's still small at about 6" x 4", but this edition had to grow a bit more than the others since everyone and their grandmother is online now.It's very convenient, Easy to find quick info and refresh your memory etc.

I don't do books.Never have the patience.I learn by doing and referencing.I should mention that I left that office in the mid 90's and became self employed as a Webmaster, Designer, and grew in many computer type areas.I now focus on internet marketing and software, and still maintain many web sites.Did this little thing teach me?... of course not.But, it is a great backup for a short concise answer relating to anything connected to your computer.It's a great deal even at the list price.When a new edition comes out, I simply pass it down to a friend. The geek in me also fills stockings with them as it curbs the tech support calls from family members a bit.

5-0 out of 5 stars Just keeps getting better
I started buying Barron's Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms back in the 1990's when I just just learning about the internet.It was much thinner then but still a valuable resource.Now in their 10th edition it is still a must have.I have it within arms length at my workstation at all times.Since I've bought it there is only one obscure term that I did not find a reference to but that was a term particular to an individual program.Can't fault them for that. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Are you still in sleep mode? Here's a book that gets you out of your wait state . . . and welcomes you to both personal computers and the Internet--a book that can tell you about the cells in your spreadsheets, about authoring tools for your Web pages, and whether your Document Object Model is compatible with your browser.

This is the book for you. The Next Step. The shortcut key.

Don't let the computer world confuse you. Whether you need to familiarize yourself with the basic vocabulary of computers or the latest item of tech talk, the Random House Webster's Computer & Internet Dictionary, Third Edition, explains computer terminology in clear, simple language. At last, a book that is easy to understand--but doesn't treat the reader like someone with fewer than 12 function keys on the keyboard.

This is the computer dictionary that:


  • not only understands the experienced hacker, but welcomes the newbie into cyberspace
  • answers your FAQs
  • explains the bells and whistles in your software
  • upgrades you from plain ASCII to Unicode; from vanilla to true color; from crippled version to virtual reality and the World Wide Web

With more than 3,000 essential computer terms, carefully linked with abundant cross references and illustrated with more than 75 clear line drawings, this book will comfort and charm you as it informs.Amazon.com Review
Are you a computer novice, burdened with FAQs? Or maybe youknow the difference between a mouse and a Gopher, but still feeloverwhelmed by the number of technical terms? Even experienced users,fluent in "computerese," come across terms they don'tunderstand. What's a half duplex? What's a command buffer? And what,pray tell, is pincushion distortion?

As anyone who has ever read a "help manual" (surely a misnomer) knows,computerese is a separate language. Philip E. Margolis has used his 20years of technical-writing experience to compile this helpfuldictionary. This new edition reflects the changes in computeresecaused by the explosion of the Net, with nearly 1,000 newentries. Each of the over 3,000 terms, from aliasing to Z-bufferingand analog to zettabyte, is clearly defined in common English andthoroughly cross-referenced. Whether you're a newbie or an experiencedphreaker, you'll learn something new.

Though aimed at the advanced computer user--you don't really need tounderstand load balancing, command buffers, or object-orientedprogramming to check e-mail and surf the Net--the Computer &Internet Dictionary will be helpful to anyone who wants to knowmore about this rapidly changing technology. --C.B.

5-0 out of 5 stars Sets the standard.
I spent a good half-hour comparing this dictionary against the other computer dictionaries on the bookstore shelf, and concluded that this one was far superior.I have not regretted my decision.The definitions areclear and concise.As a computer "civilian," I especiallyappreciate Margolis's indicating when one term (e.g.,"environment") may have more than one meaning in computer-speak;he is careful to distinguish between various shades of meaning.There arelots of cross-references, allowing the reader to grasp the context of andrelationships between terms.In addition, loads of crisp line drawings andtables enhance the book's usability.Everything is well laid out anduser-friendly.Jam-packed with authoritative information.Geeks as wellas novices should find this book extremely useful. (Solidly made, too: thisbook is not going to fall apart on you.)

5-0 out of 5 stars Worth to buy it, absolutely!
Sometimes I just feel like there are so many tech terms needed to be fit into my brain especially for a CIS student. I start to look for a good computer dictionary for awhile. Some of them are good but out of date. Someof them have lots of words but they look like spelling-check books to me.Until I found this one. It has most uptodate information about computertechnical terms and cover more than 3000 words.The best part of thisdictionary is that it tells you where you should look at the relative wordsof the one you are reading it. Thanks to the author. Excellent book! ... Read more

Product Description
Computer science is constantly developing, and computer-related terms keep multiplying. Here's a good way for both kids and adults to stay abreast of computer terminology--and it's quicker and easier than getting a computer science degree!(Though lots of kids who pick up this book will want to do that, too--later.) Kids will love this book because it defines terms they're constantly encountering--words and phrases they need to know when they sit down at their keyboard and gaze into their monitor. The author keeps all information user-friendly, never getting overly technical but always at-the-ready with practical tips and useful information. Readers will find explanations for a wide range of terms such as access time, cache, CPU, bit, RAM, disk drive, Java, virtual reality, and many more--approximately 800 terms in total. Many terms come with examples to illustrate key concepts. The book encourages kids (and adults) to take a hands-on attitude, sit down at their computers and figure out how to get the most out of today's computer revolution. (Age 9 and older)

At the back of the book you'll find 30 pages of pure fun -- computerstyle. Twenty-eight games with solutions take a variety of forms,including word search puzzles, scrambled words, word matching games,crossword puzzles, and one "crossword" where the solution consistsentirely of binary numbers!All games are based on computer themes,and are designed to expand every reader's computer vocabulary andcomputer literacy. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book
I own this book and I love it! It is very easy to use and has many common terms needed in everyday life. I, being bilingual, found this book to be very accurate in both definitions and usage of language. I would highly recomend this book to anyone needing an easy to read, accurate, and helpful guide to understanding the Internet and computer usage.

3-0 out of 5 stars COMPUTER TERMS IN SPANISH
I HAD TO TRANSLATE A HUGE MANUAL INTO SPANISH. I DIDN'T FIND HALF OF THE TERMS I NEEDED IN THIS BOOK AND HAD TO USE OTHER SITES ON LINE TO FIND THE ANSWERS. SOME OF THE TERMS I WAS LOOKING FOR WERE COMMON WORDS, SO I EXPECTED TO FIND THEM IN THIS BOOK.

FOR THAT REASON ONLY I GIVE THE BOOK A '3'RATING. FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S POINT OF VIEW, IT MAY RATE HIGHER.

4-0 out of 5 stars A useful, plain, no-nonsense dictionary
This "diccionario" is a welcome addition for Spanish-speaking computer and Internet users trying to make sense of English expressions and acronyms used (and abused) in this field. Indeed, a word-by-word English-to-Spanish translation is seldom enough, as computer terminology too often includes idiomatic expressions, cultural references, and plain jargon.

I liked the plain format without frills, and the simple, no-nonsense, highly readable explanations and definitions. ... Read more
