Product Description
This text is appropriate for those courses with an emphasis on e-commerce and the Internet, as well as short courses or MBA/IS courses that want a modern approach. Networking has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Most texts have focused on network layers and their concepts and then on how the different technologies are implemented; however with the number of viable technologies shrinking, it makes less sense to focus on concepts first and technologies second. Networking in the Internet Age first edition integrates the discussion of concepts and technologies so they appear in one place, organized by layers.

 In Need of Editing October 18, 2003

A very technical, academic-style text, apparently thrown together hastily with little concern for clarity. Many chapters are riddled with typographical errors, some of which (particularly in the diagrams) outright mislead the student. As a student, reading this book regularly put me to sleep, but that may say as much about my interest in the material as it does about the author's presentation of it. Or perhaps the author just likes putting people to sleep.

I'm using this as a textbook for my Network Technologies classes for MS IT and MS IM graduate students. I also found this relevant to MBA students as I teach another class at the Graduate School of Business entitled, Network Technology Management. The structure of the topics is excellent; however I normally postpone discussing the Internetwork Layers (TCP/IP, routing, etc.) only after the discussion on the Internet. Students relate better with the more technical stuff on routing and TCP/IP that way.
