From the Web you can work backwards into understanding and using all those technogeek tools like mailing lists, newsgroups, ftp, telnet, Gopher, Archie, Veronica, and a whole bunch of other strange-sounding things that, up until the past few years, were the exclusive domain of scientists, graduate students, and engineers. Luckily for you, the Web is easy to understand and master. The software that you use to view documents on the Web is logical and user-friendly. In addition, the Web itself houses all the information you need to learn other Internet applications. You will also master the basics of web page design.
Web pages are like digital magazine pages.
You will design a web page, complete with graphics and a brightly colored background, that you may then publish on the Web. This book is organized into three sections. Section I gives you an overview of Internet history and how to use the different parts of the Internet. Section III lists resources that may be found on the Web for a variety of topics. You will notice that there are strange looking lists that follow some of the sections and sub-sections in this book.
