Exploring the Digital Domain: An Introduction to Computing with Multimedia and Networking, Beta Edition

This text is the Beta Edition of a non-majors' introduction to computing that addresses a wide variety of computing concepts and applications, including multimedia and the Internet. This book breaks new ground for the course, in that it reflects the authors' belief that students need to know how to work with digital data and media types (such as text, numbers, graphics, images, sounds, and video, all of which are captured, created, edited and manipulated in a digital environment) and the communications and publishing capabilities of the Internet. The book is directly supported by a World Wide Web site providing more expanded discussions of concepts, tutorials, PowerPoint multimedia presentations, digital data files for browsing and downloading, and links to additional documents and resources.
