Description:
The promise made in this book's name comes through. It's not merely about getting your feet wet on the net--with Noel Estabrook and Bill Vernon's guidance that would take only a few hours. These 24 quick-and-easy lessons truly teach the net, especially beyond the Web to the point where readers will be more at home with more of cyberspace than many who have been online for months. They begin with a demystified nontechnical explanation of the net, showing it in a way that makes perfect sense to anyone who has used a telephone. From there they build on the knowledge piece by piece, adding in an understanding of e-mail, chat, file transfers, Internet phone and video conferencing, the Web, online services, mailing lists, newsgroups, and more. They discuss the various browsers, the questions to ask an Internet Service Provider, Web navigation and means of online research. Each step is small and logical with apt analogies to make points clear and nonthreatening to even the most inexperienced. Each bite-sized chapter ends with a mini-quiz to reinforce the lessons. If you want to not only bring somebody up to speed on the mechanics of Internet use but also provide them with a true understanding of the Internet, this book makes it easy.
