4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, Concise, and Easy to Read
I would recommend this book to anyone who feels that the computer field is important. It lists more than enough words (including their synonyms) in an easy-to-read format that makes looking up definitions easy and fun!

1.0 out of 5 stars Review of 21st Century Dictionary of Computer Terms
I have a number of computer-term dictionaries and this is the worst of the lot. It is by far the poorest excuse for a dictionary of any type that I have ever encountered -- Princeton should be ashamed to be associated with this turkey. I cite a typical entry: "relational database - a database with a design based on the relational model." If this...

1.0 out of 5 stars Review of 21st Century Dictionary of Computer Terms, December 10, 1999

This review is from: DICTIONARY OF COMPUTER TERMS (21st Century Reference) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have a number of computer-term dictionaries and this is the worst of the lot. It is by far the poorest excuse for a dictionary of any type that I have ever encountered -- Princeton should be ashamed to be associated with this turkey. I cite a typical entry: "relational database - a database with a design based on the relational model." If this non-information is what you want in a dictionary, this is the reference for you. I can't express emphatically enough how unvaluable this book is. Please do not waste your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth purchasing - it's too old!, June 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: DICTIONARY OF COMPUTER TERMS (21st Century Reference) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book really sucks and shouldn't even be offered for sale! It was written in 1994 before the expansion of the the web and other great advances in technology. You can't find many terms and acronyms used today. The index is lame since and doesn't even reference the actual page numbers.

Save your money and DON'T buy this book!
