Review:
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the standard for the construction and use of documents which link to other items on the net through the use of URLs (Universal Resource Locators). The World Wide Web is the term which refers to the interconnected set of documents which use HTTP. (World Wide Web is often abbreviated to WWW, W3, or just Web, although this latter causes confusion with a social issues information network by the same name.) Mosaic is an HTTP or W3 client program, often referred to as a "browser". In addition, the Mosaic browser has a graphical interface, and can utilize "viewer" software to display graphics, sound, and video in conjunction with HTTP "pages". There are other browsers, some, like WWW and lynx, text-base... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
The subtitle is the important part here: this is *not* about general marketing on the Internet, but specifically about setting up your own presentation on the World Wide Web (WWW, W3 or Web). The first half of the book is general background, with a chapter on Internet history and another on general access to the net. Interestingly, this second chapter glosses over the two major requirements for W3 usage: dial-up IP for browsers and dedicated access for servers. Chapter three gives most of its space to examples of business W3 sites. The coverage of Web browsers is unusual. It really only discusses the operation of the text-based Lynx program, but does talk of the distinctives of the graphical clients, including SlipKnot. The exper...

Review:
Penned by three self-professed ex-Netscape junkies, this book uses a cheeky tone to bring you up to speed with Microsoft's showpiece browser. You'll have to wade through a certain amount of Web cheerleading, but you'll learn the basics of setup and surfing, as well as some useful tricks, such as how to use Microsoft Internet mail while interacting with America Online (AOL) and CompuServe. Other topics covered include how to customize Microsoft Network (MSN), how to get the most from newsgroups, how to do cross-postings, and how to set up timesaving mail groups. The guide does discuss heavier topics too, such as ActiveX and how much of your hard drive to use for cached files. It's a colorful book that's got some attitude and lots of great ti...

Review:
Microsoft Internet Assistant is a tool for (slightly) automating the process of World Wide Web page coding in HTML. Internet Assistant is an add-on for Microsoft Word, version 6.0a or higher, and is given away free by Microsoft. (They may very well have a good idea of its worth.) There is no documentation for the tool, so if you have it and want a manual, you'll have to rely on Ross. Ross is quite reliable. He covers installation, the use of Word as a Web browser, use of the standalone Web browser and possible future features, as well as the use of Internet Assistant in coding HTML. Given the limitations of Internet Assistant, this last, about half the book, is a tutorial on HTML itself, with occasional references to IA dialogue bo... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This is a very solid documenting of Mosaic, much like "Using Mosaic for Windows" . It has particularly strong coverage of the menus and MOSAIC.INI. Branwyn's coverage of installation is reasonably thorough, covering sites for Mosaic, itself; Trumpet, WinSock, Win32s, and even PKZip. I'm beginning to believe that none of the Mosaic writers have actually installed it, themselves, though since, in common with all the others, it jams out on the actual setup and connection of SLIP or PPP. A good guide to the operation of Mosaic. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
