Internet and World Wide Web Simplified (Idg's 3-D Visual Series)

Nowadays the Internet and the World Wide Web are front-page news almost every day, so you know they're important. But if you don't know why they're important or what they are -- let alone how to use them -- Internet and World Wide Web Simplified is for you. This accessible, full-color guide features illustrations by the renowned maranGraphics team of artists. You see step-by-step exactly what your computer screen will look like as you follow plain-English instructions for what to enter and what to click. With Internet and World Wide Web Simplified, abstractions like protocols, HTML, e-mail and IP address, and the like are rendered in fun, informative illustrations that anyone can understand (and even gurus can use to understand concepts better).

Internet and World Wide Web Simplified includes a good beginner's directory to Web sites covering such subjects as where to find shareware programs, where to shop online, where to get information on a variety of topics, and more. The graphics are cute but never cross over the line to silly. If you know someone who has tried unsuccessfully to learn about the Net from other books, hand them this.
