5.0 out of 5 stars it is also READABLE, August 7, 2000
By Oavde "oavde" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This is a fine book, it covers just about everything to do with the internet that you could want, it is concise and yet has excellent secret tips - I am talking about very rare and highly useful tidbits.

I've been using the net since '88 and this is the first book I've seen covering it all so very very neatly. The nitty gritty, behind the scenes and all in a very well organised, highly readable manner.

I believe even a complete beginner could learn a lot from this, although if you are a beginner you might be overwhelmed at first by the sheer volume of the whole book, you will find that you can take one relevant section at a time.

For experts, I am sure you will find something of value in every chapter, for us it is like a fascinating casual read, and may reveal things that have mystified you all these years.

Finally it is very up to date.

- TOTAL BEGINNER : good, but you might need some sort of visual guide first, or tutoring.

- BEGINNER and INTERMEDIATE : you will learn a lot from this book.

- EXPERIENCED : discover what has really been going on in the background all this time.

- EXPERT : probably do not NEED this book, probably know a lot already, but I think you will enjoy it nonetheless, and as it covers so many areas it might round you out in ways you did not expect.

- DEVELOPER : could provide inspirations, and you know what they're worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now here's a secret that can be shared!, May 14, 2000
You have been using the internet for several years and you think you know how to get around fairly well, right? Well you might want to take a look at this book and find out how much you are missing and how more you can get out of the internet and the resources available to you.

John Levine is truly an expert when it comes to understanding, navigating and fully tapping the potential of the vast empire we call the internet. His book is a plethora of information that you won't be able to find in any other book on the market today.

From what browsers do to email and the power of emailing, Web site designing, e-commerce, communicating through the internet, XML, chatting and so many other topics covered this book is the one stop reference book for everyone.

The author includes a cd with utilities for the pc and the Mac, from WS_FTP, WinZip, and Adobe Acrobat Reader, copies of the Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer and finally Mind Spring software in case you need an ISP. You'll be investing in the future and the price is well worth it.
