The new Penguin dictionary of computing

Edición de la obra The new Penguin dictionary of computing

This item is a valuable reference tool for anyone that works regularly with computers. It was created to define terms, acronyms, and slang related to computer hardware and software. The author tries “to appeal to programmers and engineers as well as novice computer users.” [Colleen Cuddy, review of The New Penguin Dictionary of Computing: An A-Z of Computing Jargon and Concepts, by Dick Pountain, Library Journal 128, no. 1 (January 2003): 96.] “Part encyclopedia, part dictionary, and part jargon manual… basic concepts are described in great detail, with terser descriptions offered for the more unusual terms: some illustrations are provided for emphasis.” [Ibid.]
