- Synopsis
- Campbell-Kelly (University of Warwick) and Aspray (Indiana University) describe the way computing was handled before the arrival of electronic computers, and recount the development of the mainframe computer. They review the origins of office machinery, early failed attempts to build a calculating engine, scientific war programs, the IBM system/360 family of computers, and the importance of real time for common commercial applications. The second edition expands the later sections on CD-ROMs, the internet, and web commerce. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
