Summary: Review of 21st Century Dictionary of Computer Terms
Review: 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.

Summary: Very Good, Concise, and Easy to Read
Review: 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!

Summary: Not worth purchasing - it's too old!
Review: 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!
