Now there is a textbook that discusses data communications and networking in a readable form that can be easily understood by students who will become the IS professionals of the future.

Advanced Data Communications and Networks provides a comprehensive and practical treatment of rapidly evolving areas. The text is divided into seven main sections and appendices: "" General data compression "" Video, images, and sound "" Error coding and encryption "" TCP/IP and the Internet "" Network operating systems "" LANs/WANs "" Cables and connectors

Other topics include error detection/correction, image/video compression, digital video, digital audio, TCP/IP, HTTP, electronic mail, HTML, Windows NT, NetWare, UNIX, Fast Ethernet, ATM, FDDI, and much more.

Written by a respected academician who is also an accomplished engineer, this textbook uses the author's wide practical experience in applying techniques and theory toward solving real engineering problems.
