5.0 out of 5 stars Definite must-have for the Internet 'newbie'!, June 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Internet for Dummies (Paperback)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Learned, February 28, 2008

By	D. Brock - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Didn't Know A Thing About The Net Before This..., May 3, 2005

By	yygsgsdrassil "yygsgsdrassil" (Crossroads America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Internet for Dummies (Paperback)

...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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Baby Boomers, but Info Became Outdated Quickly
It's a good book for super-beginners and older folks, but a lot of the websites they recommend are no longer in existence.

3.0 out of 5 stars I have one
Looks good. But the first two chapters spend much time on explaning the security issue and that is a bit boring.
