The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Data Communications: From Basics to Broadband':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Beyda's aim was to provide a clear readable textbook with a broad overview of the field of data communications. He has succeeded with this work which is not only suitable for an introductory course in communications, but also for the working technical professional who needs a quick but thorough background in the field to add to other knowledge. Telecom professionals may find that the material does not give sufficient depth for their purposes. Indeed, it does not come up to the technical quality of works such as McNamara's "Technical Aspects of Data Communication" for those who want to know the "how" of the technology. Beyda does, however, touch on a number of very recent topics which are not covered in more traditional textbooks. (There is even an acknowledgement that RS-232-C is *not* the last standard in the series.) Teachers will find the end-of-chapter questions to be fairly simplistic, and not much use as assignments. The overall level of the material, however, is quite suitable for first or second year courses as a "communications literacy" introduction. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
