Think of Dummies 101 as the novice's Baedeker guide to the Web. With its clear layout and step-by-step instructions, this book will take you carefully through Netscape Navigator's tools, holding your hand as you learn the basics of surfing, chatting on the Internet, and sending and receiving e-mail. Nothing is taken for granted: It even teaches you how to install the bundled CD-ROM, right down to explaining how to put the disc on the caddy. Once you're ready to remove the training wheels, Dummies 101: Netscape Navigator will help you with multimedia applications and Netscape plug- ins and teach you how to create your own Web page. Additional non-intimidating help comes in the form of fun true or false quizzes, margin checklists, and an area for taking notes on the stuff you've learned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to use Netscape for e-mail, newsgroups, and the Web!, December 11, 1996

This review is from: Netscape Navigator (Dummies 101 Series) (Paperback)

I'm one of the authors, so here's a biased review. This book steps you though using Netscape Navigator 3.0 to browse the Web, read and receive e-mail, and join in Usenet newsgroup discussions. You'll also learn to install and use Netscape plug-ins, using plug-ins from the CD-ROM included in the book to listen to RealAudio radio clips, see video clips, and add a spelling-checking to Netscape. There's no easier way to learn to use Netscape than by following the lessons in our book!
