Internet Book
Comer

For use as a primary text for courses on using the Internet, or as a supplement for computer literacy courses that cover networking or the Internet. Fully revised and updated throughout, this text explains - in non-technical language - the technology of how computers communicate, what the Internet is, how the Internet works, and what the Internet can do for people. Students connect to the material through Comer's solid overview that focuses on the "big picture," rather than the minute details. No background in computer networking or the Internet is assumed.* Written by a leading computer networking teacher, researcher and former member of the Internet Architecture Board. * An abundance of analogies and everyday examples used to explain difficult concepts.  This book is unique in that it is not about "which button to push". It is rather an explanation of how the internet works. Products such as Internet Explorer will change, but the underlying system will not. Therefore, by not referencing specific products , the book's pedagogy is universal.   * Flexible organization in four fairly independent sections:- Part I begins with fundamental concepts such as digital and analog communication. It also introduces packet switching and explains the Local Area Network technologies that are used in most businesses. - Part II gives a short history of the Internet research project and the development of the Internet. - Part III explains how the Internet works, including a description of the two fundamental protocols used by all services: the Internet Protocol (IP) and the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Although they omit technical details, the chapters in this part help students understand the essential role of each protocol and gain perspective on the overall design. - Part IV examines services available on the Internet. In addition to covering browsers, web documents, and search engines used with the World Wide Web, chapters discuss email, bulletin boards, file transfer, remote desktops, wikis, blogs, and audio and video communication. In each case, the text explains how the service operates and how it uses facilities in the underlying system.
