(Hardcover - REV)
A curious hybrid of purely computer scientific information and business architectures, this book positions itself to address the needs of a wide range of people, including students and professionals in computer science, IT security, and finance and banking. This wide focus makes the content and organization somewhat more high-level than computer science students might wish; there is very little example code, and the presentation of the algorithms is vague enough to send anyone serious about writing programs on a hunt through the references. Business students and business professionals, on the other hand, will need a fair amount of experience in computer science to approach this text, so they might find it most useful as a reference rather than the basis of a course.
