Networld

INTERNET 101 is one of the best courses around. It teaches about best web browsing by aborting a stuck download; avoiding peak hours; changing the default homepage; keeping at it even when the message is 404 [not found]; reloading web pages for updates; resetting the memory cache; turning off graphics; and using bookmarks, the find command, and the history list. It also teaches about best mailing list traffic control by turning off subscriptions during busy times and by using the digest option and a mail filter. It even teaches about best web sites, with clear titles, multiple portable pages, ongoing maintenance, and random acts of kindness to back door drop-ins. It teaches that downloads will be the best too, with tags for horizontal rules, interlaced gif images for large gif files, larger graphics at the bottom of the page, size attributes, small files for backgrounds, and thumbnail previews and other clickable graphics. So Wendy G. Lehnert's book makes Internetworld less scary, along with Peter Kent's THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO THE INTERNET, Joe Kraynak's EASY INTERNET, Brian Underdahl's INTERNET BIBLE, and David Wall's USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB.
