You Laugh, You Learn

A lot of these types of get-to-know-the-Internet books really patronize you (they tend to have the word "idiot" in the title!), but not this one. Cadenhead has a fun, breezy style that makes learning fun. Laugh while reading a how-to book about the Internet? I did!

Great for beginners but you NEED GOOD EYESIGHT

I bought the fifth edition about 3 weeks ago(June 15,2002)wanting a structured approach to Internet instead of my haphazard random approach; yes, the text is STILL valid in 2002 for the Internet for all the fundamentals for a beginner( I am a beginner) BUT YOU WILL NEED AN EXCELLENT EYESIGHT TO READ THE COLOR PICTURES; the text next to the pictures is easy to read but the screenshots of the computer monitor(screen) are way too small. That is the only reason I gave him four stars instead of five. Great book for beginners, you can complete a chapter per day easily in one hour in general with a lot of pleasure in discovering you understand everything. The How-to-Hints section are really more directed to advanced users, but surprisingly a beginner can understand and use them as well.GO FOR IT BUT GET SPECIAL LENSES TO VIEW THE SCREEN PICTURES.

A nice guide for new Internet users

This is an easy to use book for complete beginners who want to start using the net. I'm going to send it to my mom, who just got a computer for Christmas and wants to use e-mail and ebay.

Excellent Introduction to the Internet

This book can take you from ground zero to up and running your own web page through its clear consise graphics and explanations. There are also plenty of easy-to-follow exercises that put the subject matter to use. I learned more in less time than with any other book I have seen on the subject
