New perspectives on the Internet

Excellent condition, super fast shipping, great price. This was exactly what I was looking for, which was in its description.

the main uses of the Internet

If you browse the Web, and would like to know more about its underpinnings, but hail from a nontechnical background, then this book can be quite informative. The authors go into the main usages of the Internet. Email and browsing are the most prominent. The first two killer apps. You can see that the Internet and the Web are not synonymous. Though many people use the terms interchangeably. It was the development of HTML and its partner, HTTP, that gave rise to browsers and the World Wide Web. The book also explains other usages. Always striving to minimise the technical jargon. Though you do get enough of the latter to at least now have some understanding of what they entail.

Main Reason this Is A Good Book

This book has a Blackboard course cartridge written to accompany it. That is what makes it an excellent book.

This is a excellent Internet resource book at a GREAT price.

This excellent book fills the gap for the novice and college student on the ever growing Internet. In short it covers; Internet Basics, E-Mail with various software, Browser Basics, Searching and getting Information on the Web, Advanced E-mail and Communication Tools. Importantly, it provides valuable information on improving ones research capabilities on the Internet for class presentations and papers. This 272 page comprehensive, easy-to-read instructional book is well worth the price.
