This book provides a solid foundation to enable IS professionals to create effective computer specification, to understand the behavior of computer programs, to understand the capabilities, strengths and limitations of current computer technology and to translate current jargon into understandable concepts. Uses a simple, highly representative, non-vendor specific model to introduce basic computer architecture concepts. Provides detailed clear technical illustrations and a straightforward presentation of technical topics.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is an excellent introduction for those familiar with computers, but is neither for dummies nor for rocket scientists. It is a well-balanced book suitable for both IT students and those working in the industry who want to know what goes on in PCs and system servers. The clean layout, the sequence of information presentation and the author's writing style makes this diffcult topic a joy to read about. Some criticism - the presentation of numbers could be reduced, the appendices on logic could be expanded and a chapter on client-server architecture would be the icing on the cake. Another worthy book but a bit dry is 'Silberschatz et al.'. Check it out before you buy.
