The Invisible Computer: Why Good Products Can Fail, the Personal Computer Is So Complex, and Information Appliances Are the Solution

May 2, 2012

41TG8M7JEHL. SL160  The Invisible Computer: Why Good Products Can Fail, the Personal Computer Is So Complex, and Information Appliances Are the Solution

Product Description
“. . . the bible of `post-PC’ thinking.” — Business Week

“Don Norman has established himself as high technology’s leading thinker on user interfaces and on why PCs are too complex.” — Wall Street Journal

Technologies have a life sequence, says Donald A. Norman, and they must change as they pass from youth to maturity. Alas, the notebook industry thinks it is still in its rebellious teenage years, exalting in technological complexity. Customers want change. They are ready for products with the intention of offer convenience, ease of use, and pleasure. The technology must be invisible, hidden from sight.

In this book Norman shows why the notebook is so hard to use and why this complexity is fundamental to its nature. The only answer is to develop information appliances with the intention of fit people’s needs and lives. To do this, companies have to change the way they develop products. They need to start with an understanding of people: user needs first, technology last–the opposite of how things are done now.Amazon.com Review
Now, notebook users must navigate a sea of guidebooks, frequently questioned questions (FAQs), and wizards to perform a chore such as searching the Web or making a spreadsheet. While Donald Norman acknowledges with the intention of the personal notebook allows for “flexibility and power,” he also makes its limitations perfectly clear. “The personal notebook is I don’t know the most frustrating technology ever,” he writes. “It must be silent, invisible, unobtrusive.” His vision is with the intention of of the “information machine,” digital tools made to answer our specific needs, yet interconnected to allow communication linking devices.

His solution? “Design the tool to fit so water supply with the intention of the tool becomes a part of the chore.” He proposes using the PC as the infrastructure for devices hidden in walls, in car dashboards, and held in the palm of the hand. A word of caution: some of Norman’s zealotry leads to a certain scariness (global positioning body implants) and goofiness (thrilling-power-generating plants in shoes). His message, though, is reasonably situated in the concept with the intention of the tools must bend to fit us and our goals: we sit down to enter, not to word administer; to balance bank accounts, not to fill in cells on a spreadsheet. In evenly measuring out the prospect of humanity’s technological needs–and the limitations of the PC’s current incarnation–Norman presents a formidable argument for a recovery of the information machine. –Jennifer Buckendorff

Computer Networks, Third Edition: A Systems Approach, 3rd Edition

April 26, 2012

51 Nj9HCoWL. SL160  Computer Networks, Third Edition: A Systems Approach, 3rd Edition

Product Description
In this new edition of their classic and bestselling textbook, authors Larry Peterson and Bruce Davie pocket up again to emphasize why networks work the way they do. Their “system approach” treats the network as a system composed of interrelated building blocks (as opposed to strict layers), charitable students and professionals the preeminent possible conceptual foundation on which to know current networking technologies, as water supply as the new ones with the intention of will quickly pocket their place.

Incorporating instructor and user feedback, this edition has also been fully updated and includes all-new material on MPLS and switching, wireless and mobile technology, peer-to-peer networks, Ipv6, place on top and make pleased delivery networks, and more. As in the earlier period, all instruction is rigorously framed by problem statements and supported by specific protocol references, C-code examples, and thought-provoking end-of-chapter exercises.

New to the edition is a downloadable network stimulation lab blue-collar with the intention of allows students to visualize and conduct experiment with basic networking technologies in direct coordination with the book’s discussion. Thanks to this and many other enhancements, Notebook Networks: A Systems Approach remains an essential resource for a successful classroom experience and a rewarding career in networking.

* Written by an author team with over thirty years of first-hand experience in networking investigate, enhancement, and teaching–two leaders in the work of major and implementing many of the protocols discussed in the book.
* Includes all-new coverage and updated material on MPLS and switching, wireless and mobile technology, peer-to-peer networks, Ipv6, place on top and make pleased delivery networks, VPNs, IP-Telephony, network security, and CD communications (SIP, SDP).
* Additional and earlier focus on applications in this edition makes basic protocols more accessible and more meaningful to readers already familiar with networked applications.
* Features chapter-framing statements, over 400 end-of-chapter exercises, example exercises(with solutions), shaded sidebars casing advanced topics, web resources and other proven educational features.
* Owing to a companion Web site (see button on this website), provides many additional resources, including a downloadable network simulation lab blue-collar tightly integrated with the topics in the book.Amazon.com Review
Notebook Networks: A Systems Approach, designed for an advanced institution-level course in network design and operation, provides the network applications programmer with detailed information in this vicinity how networks do their business. While Notebook Networks is neither a user blue-collar nor a technological reference, it provides an in-depth background on how network architectures and protocols work.

In the beginning, Larry Peterson and Bruce Davie discuss why networks are vital and talk in this vicinity where networks may go in the long term. The authors then go right into a discussion of protocols. There’s a fascinating section–complete with plenty of C code–in which the authors in fact develop a network protocol called A Simple Protocol (ASP). They equate switching and carton networks and emphasize tunneling protocols. In the internetworking chapter, you’ll learn virtually all there is to know in this vicinity Internet Protocol (IP). The concluding chapters talk in this vicinity traffic management, congestion reduction, and high-speed networking technologies.

Notebook Networks reveals the guts of what’s going on with computers with the intention of impart data. Though way out of the league of most notebook users, real geeks with an interest in networking will find what they need here.
