Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: The Internet Book: Everything You Need to Know About Computer Networking and How the Internet Works (3rd Edition) (Paperback) This book was required reading for an MBA class. The simplicity of the technical explanations, as well as the simple diagrams make it an easy book to understand. There are a few places where I wish the author would delve a bit deeper, on the topic of security as one example. Overall though, a good book for those who need a basic understanding of internet technology.
