Review:
Internet Firewalls and Network Security succeeds precisely because of its restricted focus: half of this book is devoted to firewalls and packet filters. After a comprehensive introduction to the architecture and theory of firewalls, the guide documents several commercial and noncommercial packages, including a shareware product included on the bundled CD-ROM. One of the book's highlights is a fine chapter on defining a network policy. Coauthor Chris Hare is a contributor to SysAdmin magazine, and it shows. This section feels like it was written for real-world network administrators, whether beginning or experienced. There are some weaker points, including an introduction to TCP/IP and Unix basics with too many details for the beginner and ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Like "Internet in Plain English" (see reviews), this is a presentation of the net via glossary. It does start with a quick overview, and its small size makes it fairly "instant" and a reasonable reference. The definitions (and thus the material of the book) are generally OK, though not outstanding. Many entries have pointers to net resources for further information, and these are commonly well annotated. They are not always complete: the "List of (mailing) Lists" entry cites none of the three major lists (although "Mailing Lists" does include one of them). Given the limitations of space, it might not be surprising that there are no entries for such items as browser, PGP or rtfm, but that makes the... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
The initial plunge into the world of the Web can be an intimidating step. In The Internet for Macs for Dummies, author Charles Seiter takes you through the process gently and with an occasional chuckle. The first four chapters explain exactly what the Internet is and how to connect your Mac to it. The author is careful to cover important topics such as modems. After this background information, three chapters cover Netscape and Microsoft Web-browser programs, as well as America Online. Once you're on the Web, the author shows you how to use e-mail and search for Web sites that meet your interest. This latter section includes a list of several special-interest sites and search engines. Since search engines vary, the book offers usage tips fo... Rest of this review on the detail page
