Editorial Reviews: @COURSE = For one-semester, undergraduate/graduate introductory computer networking courses in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments. Written by a best-selling author and leading computer networking authority, this book builds a comprehensive picture of the technologies behind Internet applications. It answers the basic question “how do computer networks and Internets operate?” in the broadest sense and includes an early optional introduction to network programming and applications. The book provides a comprehensive, self-contained tour through all of networking from the lowest levels of data transmission and wiring to the highest levels of application software, explaining how underlying technologies provide services and how Internet applications use those services. At each level, it shows how the facilities and services provided by lower levels are used and extended in the next level. Emphasis on Internet technologies and applications provides readers with substantial sections on Internetworking and Network Applications. For individuals with little or no background in the subject.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great condition of book Comment: Hi, Recently I purchased a book "Computer and Internet Applications" by Douglas. E. Comer. It is a used book and yet it is in great condition. There are some pages that are marked with pen otherwise the book was maintained well before the purchase. I am satisfied with the purchase. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Comment: I received my product quickly and in good condition, I would buy from this seller again. Customer Rating: Summary: Computer networks Comment: Good for the class in which I used it. Delivered on time and in great condition. Customer Rating: Summary: Cursory at worst - well written at best , but used, not new. Comment: As others have said this text is suitable for beginners, do not purchase this text if you seek detail of in-depth understanding of any specific aspect of networking. However my gripe is with Amazon, this text was used, not new when I received it. New texts don't come with Checkpoint stickers inside and a sheet of notebook paper with an ad for "roomate wanted" somewhere in the vicinity of Idaho State University and a phone number and e-mail address for Deb. Also Deb might want to be more careful as the back of that same sheet listed three account numbers. Obviously Deb didn't use the text long, it was in good shape and she never opened the CD but Amazon owes me a refund and explanation. Customer Rating: Summary: A good introduction for newbies... Comment: This is a very superficial exposure to computer networks. If you have no previous knowledge on the subject, this would be a good place to start. However, if you already know the basics and want to get your hands dirty, go get Tannenbaum's Computer Networks - there you will find everything explained in detail. One more thing about the book - in my opinion the author could have structured it much better - some chapters seem out of order. Also, as I noted above, it is a little stingy on facts... More Reviews
