Review:
In this case the "21 Days" conceit works in a poorer manner than is usual. The "weeks," for example, are very poorly described. If I had to make a guess, I'd say that week one was about VBScript itself, week two seemed to concentrate on ActiveX aspects, and week three dealt with slightly more advanced topics. That would be only a rough guess, though. Chapter one has an odd, but interesting, explanation and analogy of the Internet and World Wide Web. There are some examples of what VBS can be made to do in chapter two. The actual programming should probably start in chapter three, but while there is a bit of sample code, it is not explained very well. This is a pity, since it means that the coming chapters are building on a foundatio... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Part of the Teach Yourself series, this book puts all of the foundational knowledge you need to build Web sites into one large volume, along with a solid explanation of the code and design principles involved. Experienced author Laura Lemay packs a tremendous amount of instruction into this massive title. The first week of instruction covers the basics of the Web; introduces HTML; and presents simple text formatting, links, and image display. Since this book focuses on product-independent HTML 4 coding rather than instruction on a particular Web-design application, the skills you acquire will be applicable in any tool. In the next seven days of instruction, the author teaches you about style sheets, frames, tables, and the use of multimedia... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This is the second-heaviest Internet guide that I have reviewed to date. It has some helpful resources, and covers some areas which other guides don't. It is a reasonable, if somewhat terse and technical introduction to the major Internet tools. It is also derivative, of wildly varying audience level, and overlong in parts. The organizational structure is understandable, but not, perhaps, very helpful to novice users. An enormous introductory section (it has a chapter of almost a hundred pages on legal issues, alone) comes before the material on Internet tools. The third section is rather odd, having an introduction to the modem (unlikely to help new users set one up) and then remaining Internet applications. Section four lists In...

Review:
Ernst keeps insisting that Netscape is a lot easier to install than Mosaic. I strongly suspect that this is because the *real* work involved is getting your SLIP (Serial Link Internet Protocol) account and socket layer running. I further suspect that Ernst is writing for an audience that already has Mosaic, and is planning to upgrade. In fact, installation doesn't get a mention until chapter fifteen. Then, after a few pages of ftp session in order to download Trumpet Winsock and Netscape, almost the next thing you read is, "After the Winsock software is installed and running correctly ..." OK, so we won't get much help with installation. Other than the obligatory list of Web sites and history of the Internet, there are two chapters... Rest of this review on the detail page
