Customer Reviews

1st edition is flaky, but content is very good

My context is as a student researching Thin Client computing. This books is excellent, covering many of the hardware and software technologies relevant to net-centric computing. The breadth in this books is superb.

Wow!

This book is all the descriptive material above says and more. Cole's breadth of knowledge is astonishing in these days when it's hard to stay knowledgeable and uptodate about even one small segment of electronic technology and design. In my opinion, this book is essential reading for design engineers, electronics students, and anyone else who is involved in the future of computing.
