Reviews for The Practical Handbook of Internet Computing

The time is absolutely ripe for this handbook...There is no single source of information that has this breadth today...Finally, there is an examination of the Internet as a holistic system. Topics of privacy, trust, policy, and law are addressed as well as the structure of the Internet and of the Web. Stuart Feldman, Vice President, Internet Technology, IBM, from the Foreword This handbook has been addressed to everyone who needs to find knowledge about all major aspects of internet computing in real life. ...The extensive lists of references, internet standards and administrative forums are very important sources. -Zentralblatt MATH
