What's inside that little black box?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Most of us plug our computers into the internet, then we fire up IE or Firefox, press the "get email" button on Outlook or Thunderbird, and forget there's a bunch of beeping and blooping going on in the background. This book explains what's going on behind the curtain. It explains it in fairly simple terms. Non-computer scientists can understand it. There are handy analogies. Good graphics illustrating the text. This book does *not* explain *how* to network computers. It does *not* explain how to write networked applications. The "new" computing infrastructure isn't actually all that new anymore, but it is newer than telephones, which is the networking infrastructure most of us are familiar with (spoke and hub). Good basic text for non-computer programmers who would still like to communicate with them.
Excellent!
