About this title

Review:

"Lou Pizzarello; A wealth of information about the Internet technological evolution packed into a concise but in-depth pocket reference manual. Technical journals, typically crafted in the tense and verse of the technical scholar, may inadvertently and unfortunately isolate the reader of business acumen. Mr. Louis has expertly combined cogent and salient information that clearly addresses the needs of the reader from either discipline. The conversational style holds the readers interest while delivering considerable technical content. Highly recommend this book to anyone attempting to enter into the new Internet Business world.
