Review:
The Internet does many wondrous things, but an alarming number of them remain "black boxes" whose interior workings are a mystery. In How the Internet Works, Preston Gralla shows how information gets from here to there on the world's biggest computer network. With assistance from illustrators Sarah Ishidi, Mina Reimer, and Stephen Adams, Gralla presents a series of full-color spreads, each of which picks apart some aspect of Internet technology. You'll find explanations of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), Web browsers, electronic mail, Web search engines, multimedia, and more. There's a spread that shows how bulk e-mailers (known as spammers) extract addresses from newsgroups and send advertisements to them. There's also an excellent graph...

Review:
Unlike all too many books exploring special aspects of the online world, this is *not* just the normal, hackneyed job search advice with a few nods to communications technology. It is obvious that a very sincere attempt has been made to look at the new functions and tools which the Internet provides to the job searcher. As well, the book tries to provide information which a new user would need in order to get onto and use the Internet. Unfortunately, Kennedy's lack of experience with the net shows in both the tutorial material presented, and in the aspects of "online life" which are emphasized. While much of the book (almost all of chapters one, two, and six, plus numerous small entries) consists of "success stories", there is a lot ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This book does give you comprehensive documentation for Netscape. The only shortcoming is, as is all too common, that the most important aspect of setup, establishing a dialup IP connection, is glossed over very quickly. While the Netscape material itself does start with elementary points, the perserverent reader will find details of preferences, setup, INI files and a very useful section on organizing Bookmarks. On the other hand, the authors do tend to take Netscape's word as gospel for aspects such as security, and the work is exclusive to the Windows version of the program when only a little additional work could have made it platform independent. The book does contain a lot of padding which has little to do with Netscape as such... Rest of this review on the detail page
