This review is from: The Waite Group's Unix Communications and the Internet (Paperback)
Unix Communications and the Internet is a wonderful book for anyone with a history of using the Internet will cherish the well-written description of the Internet as it was 15 years ago - and still lives on for many of us. No, it doesn't talk about java or javascript or frames or viruses or malware.... they didn't exist. However, if you want to review many foundation concepts of the Internet and how it grew on the back of the Unix operating system, or if you have a need or interest to grasp the fundamentals of many software clients that helped foster Internet use, such as Pine or Elm and many others, then this book belongs on your bookshelf. You may not read all of it - in fact, few will read all of it - but just knowing it's there on the shelf brings a sense of comfort. This book is a keeper.
