Title: How the Internet Works (6th Edition) by Preston Gralla ISBN: 0-7897-2582-7 Publisher: Que Pub. Date: 07 September, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.24 (29 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: very elementary and superficial
Comment: This book has glitzy graphics. Reading it, I was not sure where it was headed. Nowhere in particular, it turned out. Each "chapter" has a page or two-long introduction followed by a couple of pages of illustrations breaking down the various aspects mentioned in the introduction. Could be a useful book for learning the jargon of the internet but nothing more. I was hoping for the nuts and bolts description, but most of it was superficial. Maybe a decent introductory book for someone who has just discovered the "net".
Rating: 5
Summary: simplistic
Comment: Excellent resource... though sometimes a bit on the simple side. Most of us know how to use email we just may not know how it works. But the illustrations are great. Redundant at times, but I guess hearing something twice reinforces it. Good job. I used this book as an introduction to my independent study class on Internet programming languages.
Rating: 2
Summary: bare bones basics
Comment: I highly recomend this book for 4 year olds and 80 year olds. This book addresses concepts only and then at the most simplistic of levels. I am not technical and was not looking for a book targeted to programmers. I simply wanted a book that would provide a modicum of information to satisfy a curious mind and give some substantive explanations as to how the internet works. This taught me nothing and is falsey advertised.
