Where to Go Next?

Wow. You nished all 12 chapters. Although there are some appendixes, some of which

are available as downloadable and printable PDFs, keep in mind that this book also serves

as a reference. Be sure to use its index to nd the pages that cover specic topics.

I also encourage you to explore the many URLs that have been provided throughout this

book, most of which are in footnotes. If you purchased the PDF version of this book,

you can simply click on a URL in order to open the web page using your favorite web

browser.

ere are two types of web users: those who author documents, and those who view—

that is, “surf”—them. Many, like me, are both. One of the most addicting aspects of the

Web is the ability to follow links to virtually no end. is can be good and bad. It is good

in that you may come across some incredibly useful information, which means you feel

compelled to bookmark the URL for future reference. But, it can be bad in that you prob-

ably have other—perhaps more meaningful—work you should be doing instead, such as

what you’re probably being paid to do.

An excellent way to nd your way around the Web is to use a search engine, such as

Google or Yahoo! Another useful reference to explore, which is oen overlooked, is Wiki-

pedia.
