Useful if you have some hands-on experience

This book is worth a lot more than its cover price. I need to be able to get up the curve VERY quickly about a lot of different software products. The book is valuable if for no other reason than it covers so many, albeit briefly: graphics programs, HTML editors, Java stuff, various office suites, browsers, etc. It won't tell you everything you need to know about MS FrontPage 2000, for example, but it will tell you enough to keep you out of serious trouble until you can learn the rest. It gave me enough information about FrontPage 2000 to get a 10 page site in FP2000 up and on the internet in less than 2 1/2 hours -- although I had previously build sites from scratch. The glossary was also good (the words don't change, but the meanings do). And it gave me a few good things to bicker about with my current ISP and in trying to find suitable ISPs for clients. It's a good and useful book. It doesn't get particularly technical, but there are other books to do that with when you find that you need to. On the other hand I can see that if you were really a newbie about the internet or building web sites when you pick it up, you might be a little bit disappointed.
