Synopsis

The Internet is the global network of computing resources and information forming the information superhighway. It can be used to chat to people all over the world, send and receive electronic mail, play computer games, get the latest news and gossip, shop, do business and pick up information. More than 20 million people are on the Internet worldwide. In the UK over 100,000 people use the Internet regularly and numbers are growing daily. To get onto the Internet it is necessary to sign up with an access provider, the computer company who supply the connection. The publishers of this book have negotiated with a UK supplier of access to the Internet, offering purchasers of the book one month's free use of the Internet. The guide is written specifically for the UK market. Some of the "Teach Yourself" pages have been put onto the Internet for the benefit of readers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Internet can sometimes seem a baffling place. During its brief lifetime, its billions of users have devised many different ways and hundreds of software tools for working on it - with new techniques and programs appearing all the time. They have also evolved a language rich in technicalities and jargon, that may simplify communication between experienced users but can be a barrier to the novice.

But look closer, and take heart. In reality, the concepts are not hard to understand and much of the software - especially the most recent - is very simple to use. Teach Yourself The Internet explains the basic concepts of data communications, covers the essentials of setting up an Internet connection, outlines many of the facilities available and explores the major tools. Jargon and technical details are kept to a minimum or explained in detail where necessary.

As there are so many different services, software packages and ways of working, and to accommodate your own interests, Teach Yourself The Internet contains a "hot links" system of cross references, allowing you to customise how you use the book according to your needs.

The Internet is in a constant state of change. This new edition picks up all the significant developments and offers up-to-date web addresses and examples.
