This is an excellent, comprehensive dictionary, but it is a little dated now (2005). It was far better than any others available at the time I purchased it (2001).

One of the reasons I purchased this dictionary was because of the IEEE endorsement.

It would be great if in addition to their online database, the authors would publish a second, updated print edition.

This dictionary has a good Russian-English glossary as well. It would be worthwhile to expand it, thus making this book into a true R-E-R computer dictionary.

An excellent working aid for professional translators--even though it's dated, I highly recommend it.

The Comprehensive Russian Computer Dictionary is intended to be a reference for computer professionals, translators, students -- anyone who works with computers using English and Russian languages.

This dictionary distinguishes itself by: a) comprehensive, yet concise, modern lexicon; b) inclusion, in a single volume, of complete English-Russian and Russian-English sections; c) linear-alphabetical structure with multiple cross-references to contextually related translations.

Numerous new terms are included in the dictionary -- terms that did not exist, particularly in Russian, as recently as a year ago. Russian entries include both, native expressions and widely accepted Cyrillic transliterations of foreign terms. Preference is always given to usable translations readily applicable to written and spoken word. Brief explanations are provided to clarify otherwise ambiguous translations.

For the convenience of our readers, the latest version of the dictionary database can be accessed on line at the same website as e-mail address.

The authors, Yury Avrutin and Paul Druker

The first review of this book is by one of the authors and not a customer. It seems a little self-serving if you ask me and should not be listed as a "customer" review.
