• Helpful installation information for those installing their own systems – Devotes a full chapter to the subject (Ch. 2).
• Abundant pedagogical aids in each chapter:
· Each chapter has quiz questions, exercises, and at least one project.
· All quiz questions will be answered in the instructors guide.
· Exercises and projects do not generally have one concise and specific
answer and therefore are not *answered* in the instructor's guide, but
are discussed in such a way as to help the instructor know what a
"correct" solution would look like.
· Instructors are free to assign some, all, or none of any of the
quiz questions, exercises, and/or projects.
• Hundreds of command and code examples throughout.
• Approximately 50 diagrams throughout.
• FTP-able files - Code used in the text will be made available on a Prentice Hall website.
• Instructor’s Guide — Provides answers to quiz questions and helpful information concerning exercises and projects.
