Book description
The Internet has become an essential part of everyday life in business education, and the home. Yet the complexity and vast scope of the Internet can still intimidate all but the most experienced user, and it's becoming even more complex and powerful every day.
Sams Teach Yourself the Internet in 24 Hours steps the reader through everything he or she needs to know in order to quickly get connected to the Internet, send and receive e-mail, find and browse Web sites, read and post to newsgroups, and apply the Internet to their everyday office and home life.
Written in a straightforward, easy-to-understand style, the book avoids confusing jargon at all costs, clearly telling the reader just what they need to know in order to become productive.
