Synopsis

After many years of daily UNIX and Internet activity, we came to be enthusiasts of the World-Wide Web while trying to choose an authoring system for a CD-ROM project. We decided to use Web software for the CD-ROM, thus seamlessly integrating the two dis- joint worlds of CD-ROM publishing and the Internet. We are grate- ful to our publisher, Allan M. Wylde, for the initiative leading to that idea and then to this book. As we enter the third millennium and complete the computer revo- lution, our future will depend on our creative actions taken today. The politics of cyberspace, our future world, are being determined now by those who are already empowered with full cyberfunction- ality on the Internet - which today means the multimedia browsing capabilities of the WWW.theWorld-WideWeb.Itis urgent that concerned people extend themselves as soon as possible into this new world, to participate in the creation of the future. Our purpose in presenting this introduction and empowerment package is to enable as many people as possible to attain this level of citizenship in the future. Turn on, boot up, and jack in! The future is ours to create. xi Software Bundles Here is a minimal suite of software for WWW connection, as described in the Bootstrap chapters in part 2 of this book.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The Web Empowerment Book is devoted entirely to prospective home users of the Internet. The authors' primary emphasis is on accessing the World Wide Web: a smooth, graphically-oriented system for viewing information from universities, businesses, government, and individuals anywhere in the world. This book gives you both an armchair tour of Internet resources in color, as well as presenting all the concepts you need to get connected. In three well-explained steps it describes how to get wired to the Internet and the World Wide Web inexpensively and easily using conventional phone technology. This handy guide also provides a concise introduction to the UNIX commands typically available from an Internet Access Provider's machine. The Internet and UNIX grew up together, so some literacy in UNIX, while not required, is desirable, since you may need UNIX to obtain software over the Internet. As a special feature, packages of free software for connecting Windows and the Macintosh are provided at the authors' own Internet sites, and at other sites listed in the book.
