Tech Terms, Third Edition: What Every Telecommunications and Digital Media Professional Should Know

Buy
The purpose of this book is to provide telecommunications and digital media professionals with a collection of must-know terms and concepts that are likely to pop up in their daily conversations or appear in news articles or informational media that address our increasingly technological world. It is also intended for anyone who simply wants to know more of what makes today’s technological world go around. The use of “essential” in the title is not accidental.

Although there are many high-quality books and web sites that provide an exhaustive collection of every technical term imaginable, this book aspires to whittle those tens of thousands down to a manageable and practical list of Internet, telephony, telecommunications, broadcasting, and computing terms that most professionals actually need to master—whether they are just getting started in a new field or are well established in their own area of expertise. And for those whose work responsibilities do not fit neatly into a “high-tech” category, many of the terms in this book are still important to know as large-scale digitization continues to shape almost every aspect of modern life.

The very first edition of Tech Terms was published by the National Association of Broadcasters in 1996, with a follow-up edition four years later.  These earlier editions of Tech Terms focused primarily on terms related to the broadcasting and telecommunications industries, with the second edition incorporating some emerging computer and cyberspace terms. This current edition represents an almost complete reworking of the original material, with many less-useful terms eliminated. Almost all remaining terms were extensively revised, and an extensive list of new terms was added. All relevant entries are appropriately cross-referenced.

As I was preparing this latest edition for publication I was struck by how many terms and concepts from the previous edition (terms that seemed so central to the technological world of the late 1990s) had lost their relevance, many of them failing to materialize and many of them fading into obscurity. Although I cannot predict the near future any better than the next person, I have paid careful attention to the inclusion of terms and concepts likely to be just as relevant five years from now as they are today. It is true that the technological world continues to change at breakneck pace. However, it is also true that over the past 20 years there have emerged unquestionably foundational technologies, concepts, and practices that are likely to shape our lives for many years to come. Those are the focus of this book.

Delphi Graphics and Game Programming Exposed
The majority of the book is dedicated to the mechanics of creating a game in Delphi, and will therefore be concerned mainly with exactly how to do something, such as fast flicker-free animation. Some parts address more theoretical issues, such as game design, and are very light in their coverage. Other parts are at a more intermediate level,...
