4.0 out of 5 stars Visual Series - Teach Yourself Internet & World Wide Web, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Visually the Internet and World Wide Web (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This is an extremely helpful book for anyone that is just starting working on the computer and internet as well as an experienced person.

I have found the book helpful in teaching the internet to others. Many times we forget to inform the new learner of the information that is so basic to us.

This book takes them through a complete process. They build thought upon thought. For people who are visual learners, the pictures on the pages are very refreshing to see that one is actually getting the right results from following the written instructions.

I have been working with the internet for years and still refer people back to the Visual Series as the best value for their money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for end user, April 26, 2000

This review is from: Teach Yourself the Internet and World Wide Web Visually (Paperback)

This book is an excellent overview for the end user. This book explains the general concepts of Internet and World Wide Web and yet the area they cover was very broad but not in depth. If you are confused with all general concepts but do not have interest to go very deep into the topics, this is definitely the book for you. Good visual presentation always great for understanding the subject. I have been using this book when explaining the Internet to non-I.T people, they love it.
