About this title

Review

Designed with the absolute beginner in mind, Netscape Navigator 3.0--Surfing the Web and Exploring the Internet uses Netscape Navigator as its centerpiece and explores the surface of the Internet as a whole rather than limiting its information to the World Wide Web. Netscape Navigatior 3.0 discusses file transfer protocol (FTP), gopher, Usenet, and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and explains how to configure the Navigator client to use these and other resources. The book successfully covers the browser client, pointing out many features and options that new users might overlook. A solid list of helper applications and plug-ins, all of which are on the bundled CD-ROM, are also included. Of course, each chapter has plenty of helpful and reliable URLs, which is perhaps the best "gentle push" available for beginners.
