"This book presents basic information processing and computer concepts in a readable and hopefully, entertaining manner, integrating newer techniques and modern technologies by progressing smoothly from the traditional 'basics' to the idea of a total information processing system. Along the way, such topics as database management, structured programming, operating systems, virtual memory, top-down system design, minicomputers, microcomputers, intelligent terminals, distributed data processing, teleprocessing and telecommunications will be introduced in context."
