I ended up taking a class at school in the education department because so many teachers/educators are using the Internet for a variety of reasons. As a Deaf person, this turned out to be one of my more 'difficult' classes because everyone was in front of a computer, the room was large, the professor wandering around (so no lipreading), and it was dark as they were using a projector from the computer screens. Ugh, major hassle! I could not see either an interpreter or a computer assisted real time captioner. Besides the fact the stenographer was not paying enough attention to do what she was being paid to do. So I did what I usually do, and ran and got some extra books to back up what I was not getting in class. This book definitely fit the bill. It was simple, clear, concise, and had illustrations. Whatever the topic was in class, I could find something on it in this book. I see he has updated for all the changes made in the last few years. I hope Ackermann continues to do this as more students like me with disabilities try to attend college. I recommend this highly to my students and lend it out when needed.

Great book for an Internet Base Course. Introduces features that only an Intermediate and Advance Internet user would know.
