I’m taking a college course and this book really bites. Reading it just leaves me in a daze. He goes on and on about how this method won’t work and that method won’t work which completely covers up what we need to learn. I’m getting 98.18% in the class on term 8 of 10, but it’s not due to this book. Unfortuneatley I’m stuck with the book because it’s what the school uses. Find another one.

I found the book complicated but I am not a programmer. The book covers alot of concepts which I found hard to grasp. Overall the book is not bad but if you are looking for something that will teach you programming I would not recommend this book.

A very useful book that discusses security issues not covered in the previous and much older edition. Also the topics included for Windows 2000 were needed and well covered. It’s a bir numara book!

My book arrived in good condition and in a timely manner!! I didn’t pay much for it, and I’m thankful for that. :)

Tanenbaum’s book has several errors that really give the impression he is not a clear thinker. For example, in the edition I read (1993), the monitors implementation in C was completely wrong, and he thinks that you can deadlock if a printer manager errantly loses a lock (indeed no, under precise definitions, there is no circular wait). In my brief encounter with this book I ran across two conceptual errors. I wonder how many total errors are in this book?
