If you're just starting out to use the Internet, this is a definite must-have book for you! It's written in way for all of us to understand, and leaves the techie jargon behind! This book is a definite MUST HAVE for any website designer, newbie to web design and anyone and everyone who has an online business. Simple, easy to understand visuals compliment the text, which is written in a very simplistic manner. This book is wonderful - magnificent - excellent, and will help you greatly understand the elements of successful web design. I've used it to consistently update my own website, at:

If you don't have this book, you're missing out on your single-most-important investment in your professional life!

This book enabled me to surf the Internet quicker. My questions were answered on topics, that I was unaware of. Very informative. A perfect read for individuals that have some previous knowledge of the Internet, yet not enough.

...and now I surf the wide world web like a hangin' ten, cowabunga yelling tide tamer. This tells you how to get from a idea to the very article you're searching for as well as defining what those dot com or dot org or dot gov slash dot htmls mean. The Dummy books are like the Cliff Notes on everything and this one fits the bill for us folks with limited acuity.

This is an excellent book for some one like me who is computer illiterate.
I highly recommend this for understanding and finding out how your computer and its programs work.

My husband is a computer/internet newcomer. He read most chapters and is using it as a reference. The book reinforced the security issues surrounding some websites and popups. Great book for folks that are unfamiliar with the web.

I just started the internet thing and this was quite helpful even to this DUMMY!

Don't bother if you are a novice. Instead of simple steps this is
a wordy text and contains information that does not help you learn
the net.

althougth many of the points included I already knew, the interesting thing of this book is that refreshed most of my basic knowledge of Internet; and also...there are many points and issues I did not know of its importance. Highly reccomended.

It's a good book for super-beginners and older folks, but a lot of the websites they recommend are no longer in existence.

Looks good. But the first two chapters spend much time on explaning the security issue and that is a bit boring.
