1.0 out of 5 stars
Out of touch,
By Tim Johnson (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Business Data Communications - Introductory Concepts and Techniques, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book is a big disappointment. In the rapidly changing field of information technology, it is important to stay somewhat up to date with technology. Although the copyright date is 1997, most of the book has not changed since its first edition (circa 1990?). This book contains such gems as "Today the ARCNET protocol is widely used in a variety of LANS (Page 7-16)" Ha! The authors also go into great detail about the wonderous SNA protocol, choices regarding terminals, etc. TCPIP is listed as a 'Wide Area Networking Protocol' and is not listed under the LAN section. Some 'recent updates' to the second edition talk about the Internet. The inform the reader about valuable Internet utilities such as Gopher and Archie? According to this book and a question from the exam pool, Ethernet is used on bus networks only...not star. This is the worst excuse for a technology book I have ever seen. They should rename it 'History of Data Communications'
3.0 out of 5 stars

If your class requires this book. Get another class.
This book is so out dated its ridiculous! The first pages are comparing computers from 1983 to computers in 2003. Because this book is FROM 2003! I got an A in the class because it was easy. But I didnt learn a whole lot from this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars

I am a technician working in the Telecommunication Industry trying to expand my knowledge of Data Communication. This book is a great start for anyone who is interested in Data Comm. It is easy to read and was put together very well.
