Review of Microsoft Internet & Networking Dictionary (Bpg-Other) (Paperback)

Yes, this "Microsoft Internet & Networking Dictionary" did cover the most important networking and Internet terms. Its appendixes harbour updated Internet codes and domain names. But, with just over three-thousand entries, no non-beginner would pay serious attention to it.
Its greatest strength lies in being both elaborate and portable. However, many common high-tech jargons and Programming acronyms were excluded: thus ensuring that the book remains palatable only to inexperienced learners.

Product Description
With today's fast pace of innovation in networking and on the Internet, new technical terms appear constantly. This handy pocket-sized dictionary-a subset of the terms found in the popular, recently updated Microsoft Computer Dictionary, Fifth Edition-promises to keep people up-to-date on the latest terms they need to know. It includes more than 3,000 of the most important terms about the Internet and networking, and it also provides appendixes of Internet country codes and domains, common file extensions, and Instant Messaging emoticons and acronyms. It's the ideal Internet and networking reference for home, office, school, or wherever the latest technology takes you!

Review of Microsoft Windows 2000 Core Requirements, Exam 70-210: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Hardcover)

I found the book more like a user manual. Thebook does not discuss or gives examples like the sybex book I used for my NT 4.0. However, if you have the patience, the book teaches you all about Windows 2000Pro.

Another thing I like about the book is that there is no mention ofNT 4.0. Some Windows 2000 books in the market are face lift of their NT 4.0editions. But not this one. This book was written from ground up.

Butthis lack of NT 4.0 Coverage can be another hurdle for new NT specialist.You will try in vain to look up the Windows 2000 equivalent of an NT 4.0feature.

NO CD-ROM with the book !

I found the book helpful, but ifyou can, wait for the other publishers who are famous for their self studyguides.

Product Description
This official Microsoft training kit teaches IT professionals how to install, configure, and administer the Windows 2000 Professional desktop operating system-as they prepare for the corresponding MCP exam. Topics include setting up and troubleshooting the software; monitoring and optimizing system resources such as files, printers, and applications; and configuring hardware devices and drivers. Students learn through skills-based tutorials and hands-on lab exercises. The content covers Windows 2000 Professional in a generic server environment, though many examples reference Windows 2000 Server. An economical alternative to classroom training, this kit enables students to set their own pace and learn by doing.
