it is also READABLE

This is a fine book, it covers just about everything to do with the internet that you could want, it is concise and yet has excellent secret tips - I am talking about very rare and highly useful tidbits. I've been using the net since '88 and this is the first book I've seen covering it all so very very neatly. The nitty gritty, behind the scenes and all in a very well organised, highly readable manner.I believe even a complete beginner could learn a lot from this, although if you are a beginner you might be overwhelmed at first by the sheer volume of the whole book, you will find that you can take one relevant section at a time. For experts, I am sure you will find something of value in every chapter, for us it is like a fascinating casual read, and may reveal things that have mystified you all these years.Finally it is very up to date.- TOTAL BEGINNER : good, but you might need some sort of visual guide first, or tutoring.- BEGINNER and INTERMEDIATE : you will learn a lot from this book.- EXPERIENCED : discover what has really been going on in the background all this time.- EXPERT : probably do not NEED this book, probably know a lot already, but I think you will enjoy it nonetheless, and as it covers so many areas it might round you out in ways you did not expect.- DEVELOPER : could provide inspirations, and you know what they're worth.
