  • EXPANDED DISCUSSION DETAILS THE ADVANTAGES AND USE OF BOTH CLOUD COMPUTING AND CLOUD STORAGE. Students gain a better understanding of accessing data and programs via the cloud. Students examine uses of the cloud with other operating systems or as a standalone.
  • NEW READER-FRIENDLY EXAMPLES CLARIFY TOPICS. This edition now uses pseudo-code and prose descriptions that readers can easily understand, replacing the former examples in assembly language, which is no longer widely studied today.
  • REVISED NETWORKING DISCUSSIONS REFLECT EMERGING DESIGNS AND TECHNOLOGY. Timely new material guides students in examining the latest developments and advancements impacting networking today.
  • UNIQUE APPROACH EMPHASIZES STUDENT UNDERSTANDING AND ORIGINAL THINKING, RATHER THAN MEMORIZATION. Fresh new exercises still retain the book's distinct focus on reader comprehension that extends well beyond mere memorization or cut-and-paste facts. Exercises also highlight examples and provide hands-on practice in working with calculations that are taught in the text.
  • HELPFUL CROSS-REFERENCES HIGHLIGHT CONCEPTS AT WORK WITHIN TODAY'S OPERATING SYSTEMS. This edition offers numerous cross references that help readers connect details about the four operating systems described in the book to overall concepts discussed in the beginning chapters.
  • NEW COVERAGE EMPHASIZES COMMAND-MODE OPTIONS. This edition now offers added emphasis on available command-mode options in each operating system for readers who want to explore their system more directly, without having to use the GUI menus.
  • TECHNICAL TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED IN EVERYDAY LANGUAGE. The book's reader-friendly approach enables students to grasp such complexities as standalone versus networked computing systems.
  • THOROUGH INTRODUCTION COVERS THE FUNDAMENTALS OF TODAY'S OPERATING SYSTEMS. Readers learn what operating systems are, what they do, how they function, how they can be evaluated, and how they compare with one another.
  • DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEMS HIGHLIGHTS THE USES AND APPLICATION OF THEORY WITHIN EACH POPULAR OS CHOICE. The book's presentation of Windows, Linux, and UNIX as well as Android and iOS, prepares students for success in working with today's operating systems.
  • SPOTLIGHT ON 16 INDUSTRY INNOVATORS ENGAGES STUDENTS AND DEMONSTRATES HOW LEADERS HAVE SHAPED ADVACEMENTS. Each chapter highlights one significant innovator and demonstrates for readers how their accomplishments have furthered the field of computer science.
