No surprise that all the major online services - America Online, Prodigy, CompuServe - now offer Web access. This book shows that ever-growing crowd of Web newcomers how to harness the magic of the Web while sidestepping the old Internet's jargon and confusion. From e-mail to file transfers and newsgroups to home pages, The Little Web Book lays it all out simply and accessibly, with bite-size chapters offering down-to-earth explanations of basic concepts.
This book investigates the fundamental mechanics of the World Wide Web to provide a simplified, accessible entry point for new internet users. Alfred and Emily Glossbrenner leverage their experience in technical writing to demystify complex networking protocols and online services. The text argues that the Web's point-and-click interface serves as a bridge, allowing users to bypass the technical jargon that previously hindered widespread internet adoption.
