Web 101: Making the Net Work for You (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Boring junior high school level book.
Review: All the chapters constantly drag on and on like a boring novel. The book is somewhat like a director trying to strech a 50 minute movie into a 2 hour epic. There are few terms in bold and tons of useless garbage in between that is just opinions and junk you don't need to know. This book is more like the type of book you will find in junior high school levels. Like a mother talking to a child type of writing quality. There are many other outstanding books on the market. Don't waste your time purchasing this book. Anyway, this is a school textbook, not a reference book that you would keep at your workstation or library. Why would you buy a textbook and not a "computer" type of book. How can this be a second edition? Many typos have not been edited.

Summary: Best Computer Book I've Read
Review: The Second Edition (2002) of Web 101 is a superb book. I respectfully disagree with the Amazon.com review's opinion that the book is "not really" a good value. It is expensive, but worth it. It is very well written, with lots of facts and examples to back up the author's points. The layout of the book may be the best I've ever had the pleasure to see.
Don't let the iguana cartoon on the cover mislead you into thinking it's a lightweight! I would especially recommend this for grade or high school teachers using the Net in their classroom, but anyone who wants a solid, thorough understanding of this topic will enjoy this highly readable work.
