The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Netscape Virtuoso':
Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
This book is a very serviceable guide to the use of Netscape, and the World
Wide Web as a whole. Explanations of use are clear and straightforward. The
material is, at the user level, quite complete. Chapter six lists a number of
helpful tips and hints. There are chapters on basic HTML (HyperText Markup
Language), Web search sites, and other related topics.
So far so good, and I would recommend this book as a very solid first step for
those new to Netscape. The authors, however, feel that they have gone beyond
the user level, and have provided "useful technical information" about advanced
and specialized topics. There *is* mention, and even discussion, of areas such
as caching, MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), and security. Some
of the points raised in these sections can be interesting to users, but the
level of the content is neither sufficient for technical users, nor completely
reliable. (The chapter on security, in particular, contains a number of errors
and misleading statements.)
