      • Review:: 'For the reviewer that has trouble comprehending... If one can't understand the style of writing maybe one should not be in a CS 100 level course or even close to the college level! If anything, as reviewed earlier, I found this style made it easier to read a CS text... as a lot of the texts are just too technical; but rightfully so. This text was a relief from the standard curriculum required reading. You think this is bad? Try an English Comp reading essay or assignment. CS needs more of this if the discipline expects to recruit a wider spectrum of students, as science and engineering is already scarce with students as it is. Bottom line, if you're used to the technical reading of the CS curriculum, this book will serve as a reading relief as it is a fast and EASY read. As another reviewer stated, one weekend and this book is finished. If your trouble with reading comprehension is severe enough you should not be reading CS material to begin with - take a course in English and read some extra-curricula novels to build up reading skills first, like fiction.
      • Review:: 'Very Nice Overview After finishing a first year sequence in CS I felt like I had accomplished a lot.. yet something was missing and I didn't know what. Before this past year I had virtually no real CS exposure and was thrown into the curriculum and was practically forced to progress at their speed and rate. Once the spring semester was over I immediately began to read this book and found it to be a very enjoyable read. It's so broad and easy to absorb that out of its eleven chapters I would complete two or three chapters in one sitting. I found that it really filled in holes left having gone from no experience in CS to finishing a first year University level curriculum. For a complete newbie, some concepts may be out of range but I don't think that should deter you. For someone like me having at least a years experience in CS I found it be a nice supplement to what I already know and a nice reinforcer on subjects I needed review as well as small introductions to material I may have not seen or looked into before. Definately keeping it in the personal library.
      • Review:: 'Great Book!! I'm getting my B.S this semester from the College of Computer and Information Sciences. I ordered this book last week, and I definitely recommend it to any Computer Science graduate preparing for a job interview, you can review all the basics you studied in college on a weekend !!
      • Review:: '"An Overview!!" First, some quick advice to those who found the book too basic or general: read the title if you can't make it to page one of the preface! This book is an overview of computer science. You can't expect it to be "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" + "Introduction to Algorithms, 2nd ed" + "Principles of Compiler Design" + "C Primer Plus", etc. . . If you're looking for that kind of topic depth refer to books that specialize in certain topics. If the book is too basic for you then you simply shouldn't be reading it. I don't think that's any reason to slam it though. As for the intended audience (i.e. true computer newbies) this is your starting point. I haven't read the 8th edition and am not sure how the 7th might be improved upon other than perhaps a little more depth in the database section. This book will not teach you how to program in C, how to build a compiler or how to perform a SQL query. It will tell you what you need to know to move onto these and other computer science areas sensibly as well as point you toward the best sources of topical info (i.e. the golden books of computer science) for further study should you wish to make a career of it. This study approach is truly advantageous because you avoid basic computer science knowledge gaps and start with a better framework for topical studies and specilization. If you take the other route (e.g. grab a "learn to program in 10 minutes" book and just 'go at it') you stand to miss details that will come back to haunt you later in your career as you make mistakes yet are uncertain where your knowledge gaps lie. MIT Comp Sci students typically skip this course and begin with the more technical "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"- truly a great place to start. For those of you who haven't been immersed in computers for the last half of your lives, this book is your stepping stone, a great foundation and a very enjoyable read. My advice is to start with this book then use its references to explore the computer science topics (i.e. languages, architecture, A.I., etc.) that interest you. You'll start on much more solid ground than those who just 'jump on in' and keep going until they (and their programs) crash.
      • Review:: 'Good for beginners, non-comp scientists and exploring pros This is a GREAT book. I enjoyed this book for many reasons. I have crossed the line between computer hobbyist and professional several times in the last twenty (20) years. I have been a professional programmer, I have taught computer science classes at local community colleges, have edited courses on the same, and have been responsible for staff training. I have used this book and previous editions as a planning tool for teaching courses to students of various ages and exposure. From my experience this is a good "lay of the land" book. It is highly recommended if you are in one of the following situations: * If you are a beginning student in a computer science program and you want a good conceptual, mildly technincal overview of what is to come * If you are a non-computer scientist who wants a better grasp of the field (perhaps a writer of technical articles for the general public) * If you are looking for a good conceptual overview of a subject before doing a more thorough technical investigation (for example - machine architecture, assembly language, networking, high level languages, artificial intelligence, etc.) * If you are reviewing a concept without needing an in depth technical explanation or are moving to a more technical explanation later With the exception of many game programmers that I know, technical professionals have a tendency to specialize in one area. This is due to the fact that many professionals get a start working in a highly focused area of the field. Some readers like to jump immediately into technical documents like highly mathematical treatments or RFCs but a good conceptual overview works well for others. With its size, it can't be everything to everyone but it is a great starting point or review resource.

Book by Gary B. Shelly, Thomas J. Cashman and Misty E. Vermaat. Course Technology 920 pages Paperback Published 2005-02-16. Description: Provides current and thorough introduction to computers by integrating usage of the World Wide Web with the printed text.
      • Review:: 'A Solid Foundation in Computer Concepts i received a b.s. in mgt/mis in the 80s and recently took a self-paced community college course that used this as a textbook as part of a 2nd degree program i am pursuing. i wanted to refresh/update my knowledge in the field. this is a comprehensive overview of computers presented in a clear way with wonderful study aids. i particularly enjoyed the programming, enterprise systems, and networking chapters. it also covers career fields within IT. what really makes this book outstanding is the website that comes with it. at the end of each chapter are tests and tutorials which you can do online. the labs are excellent and i loved the one on chapter 4 which explained the guts of the computer and then had you build one! it had you draw a network diagram and assign ip addresses. these types of tutorials really help "lock in" the subject matter. students today have the best tools to learn. i wish i had this 20 years ago!! i recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about/brushing up on computer skills. for folks out of school, this is a great way to get the lingo. to check out the online version go to [...]. each chapter is summarized on this site with a wealth of information to learn and explore.
      • Review:: 'Technology Education This is an interesting book to start your knowledge on the Technology field. However, in comparison with other sources (i.e. The Hardware Bible) it does not have the broadness on certain subjects.Overall this title is excellent when you want to start in the technology of communications.
      • Review:: 'Discovering Computers 2006... So far so good... this book is an excellent educational IT tool for those interested in learning about computers!
      • Review:: 'One of the best books This is one of the best books in this field, for Introduction to Computer (CS, MIS, IT, Computer Literacy, etc.) and my choice textbook for the introductory courses.
      • Review:: 'Great Beginner's Text. DISCOVERING COMPUTERS 2005 is a textbook that we used in an introductory course on computers in business class that I had. The book is a great tool for anyone who has had no experience with computers to those who have had a limited experience working with computers. It provides a foundation of most of the current terms and concepts about computers and how those things are applicable in life. The book is filled with colorful illustrations, current photographs, and detailed graphs. The text is easy to read and with all the illustrations, photos, and graphs it doesn't take very long to read an entire chapter. My only complaint about the book is that for all the key terms and concepts that are introduced, there is no glossary to look those words up. Other than that, it's a great text for an introduction to computers class.
