Industry Reviews
Most technical dictionaries are pretty dull. Once in a while, though, one with some value-added features is published that's worth getting excited about. This timely dictionary serves as a comprehensive handbook in sorting out the burgeoning jargon of technical acronyms, words, and concepts that creep into our professional and casual conversations. Hansen, a pioneer in digital audio and video production, has compiled over 2000 technical and multimedia terms from a multidisciplinary perspective audio, graphics, video, networking, human factors, and general computing into a helpful handbook. In addition to definitions, some valuable appendixes are included on topics such as digital media copyright issues and international standards. For web developers, there is a basic HTML tutorial, a description of CGI script conventions, a table of HTML tags and attributes, a list of HTML-coded characters, and a table of HTML 3.2 color designations complete with hexadecimal code. A final appendix lists the books, software, manuals, and periodicals that served as sources for this outstanding reference work. Highly recommended. Joe J. Accardi, Northeastern Illinois Univ.
