Goals and Philosophy Internet computing has already developed into a vast area that no one individual can hope to understand fully. Those targeted at practitioners tend to discuss specific tools or protocols but lack a discussion of the concepts and how they relate to the subject broadly.

Those targeted at managers are frequently superficial or concentrated on vendor jargon. Those targeted at students cover distinct disciplines corresponding to college courses, but sidestep much of current practice.

There is no overarching vision that extends across multiple books. Those targeted at researchers are of necessity deep in their specialties, but provide only a limited coverage of real-world applications and of other topics of Internet computing.

Special Features An exhaustive coverage of the key topics in Internet computing. Accessible, self-contained, yet definitive presentations on each topic, emphasizing the concepts behind the jargon.
