Review:
World Wide Web, variously abbreviated as Web, WWW or W3, is the name for the
comprehensive and interlocking system of computers, networks, daemons,
languages, browsers, servers, protocols, clients and documents. HTTP
(HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the standard for requests from Web clients (or
browsers) and data from Web servers (or sites or daemons). HTML (HyperText
Markup Language) is the formatting code that specifies the display and
functions of Web documents (or files). A Web browser is the program that runs
(relatively) locally and which is your interface to the W3. And a Web site is
that combination of computer hardware, network links, daemon software, and HTML
files which you need in order to provide information to the World...

Review:

such. Therefore, while the interviews themselves may be of interest, the book
is hardly as useful a resource as the likes of "Finding it on the Internet"
(
see reviews).
I don't know all of those interviewed, but I do recognize a number of names
from works I have reviewed. Two of the names are quite respectable. A rather
larger number, however, belong to those who have turned out books whose value

Goldsborough, in common with many who have only a tenuous grasp on the
concepts, attempts to marry the widespread, anarchic, and still experimental
Internet with the tightly-controlled "providers" of electronic media. (He also
attempts to expand the collection of information supercliches with "infopike"....
