Business Data Communications & IT Infrastructures focuses on a core set of technologies and why they have been designed to work the way they do. An emphasis on the why promotes retention of knowledge, both short and long term. The material provides students with the skills they will need within the first five years of their careers and the insight they will need to continue to advance their knowledge throughout their careers. Edition 4.0 has been updated to remain current and advance pedagogical elements.
FEATURES:
Prepare students for industry
In developing this textbook, the authors thought through the essential tasks that students will be expected to perform when they enter the technology workforce. Your students will start with the basics and build up the core set of data communications and IT infrastructure knowledge and skills needed to accomplish these tasks competently.
Motivate learning and promote retention by focusing on the "why"
Understanding why technologies work the way they do helps students retain knowledge and creatively apply concepts with the larger goal of efficient and effective resource utilization. The focus on "why" serves as a unifying theme for the textbook.
Contextualize learning with business use cases
Students explore the business use for the technologies in a detailed case at the end of each chapter. Additionally, a threaded enterprise IT infrastructure design case runs throughout the book integrating insights across chapters.
Speed understanding with analogies
Analogies are regularly employed to further an overarching understanding of concepts and their inter-relationships.
Cement learning with hands-on exercises
Students connect with and retain knowledge based on hands-on exercises in every chapter. Many of these exercises use the networking utilities available on students' personal computers.
Promote critical thinking
Each chapter includes exercises that challenge students to reflect on the larger implications for society.
