Book Description
The Internet has become so popular that it's now
difficult to get through an entire day without hearing it mentioned on
TV, reading about it in the newspapers, or going online yourself.
Unfortunately, there is no "Internet Users Manual." The Internet
All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies can fill that void, however,
by providing one-stop, quick guidance for the tasks and tools you'll
need to experience the best of the Internet.
This book is intended to be a reference for all the great things (and
maybe a few not-so-great things) that you may need to know when you're
browsing the Internet, writing e-mail, using newsgroups, creating your
own Web pages, and so on. Rather than having to buy a book on each of
these Internet-related topics, you can access them all conveniently
packaged for you in one handy reference. This comprehensive book shows
you how to get up and running fast so that you have more time to do the
things that your really want to do.
The Internet All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies is a big
book made up of several smaller books minibooks, so to speak.
Within them, you'll find easy-to-follow information on the following
topics and more:
Internet safety, security, and troubleshooting
Composing e-mail with Outlook Express and other readers
Browsing the Web with Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
Chat and other online communication
Using FTP to transfer files
Getting started with Web publishing
Creating Web pages with Microsoft FrontPage 2002
Going places with AOL
Shopping online
Investing online
The back of the book contains a special Internet Directory section
that points you toward some of the best sites that the Web has to offer.
The sites listed here are organized by categories such as Internet and
computer help, search engines and directories, news and information,
research and education, sports and leisure, arts and entertainment, and
fun and free stuff.
