1.0 out of 5 stars superceded older computer dictionary, October 15, 2003

Naftali/Cliff Anderson "Naftali" (Jerusalem) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dictionary of Computer Technology : English-Russian-Hebrew (Paperback)

The biggest problem with this pamphlet is that the chosen terms are from another era of computing and not as useful today as when they were chosen by the first wave of Russian immigrants to Israel in the early 1990's.

A better choice for current needs would be the Slovar Programmista published by Ivrus Publishers in Tel Aviv which also comes in a Hebrew/Russian/English edition.

Given the resources at available at the time this dictionary was assembled and laid out it represents a proud, but amateur effort to meet the needs of Russian speaking computer professionals immigrating into a Hebrew and English speaking work environment in Israel. It is a self-published dictionary created by immigrants to allow them to work in a new country.

5 stars for initiative, but only 1 star for current usefulness.

Typo in the Russian text on the cover of this book is a dead give-away about its quality. Avoid this book.
