What’s in This Book, Anyway?


This book is really six different books wrapped up in one convenient volume. It’s jam-packed with tips, advice, shortcuts, and how-to’s to help you squeeze the last drop of fun and profit from your computer. It’s a reference book. It isn’t meant to be read from start to finish. Dip into it when you need to solve a problem, investigate a new use for your computer, or find a better way to do a task. Here’s a bare outline of the six parts of this book:

♦ Book I: The Basics:

What Makes This Book Special

You’re holding in your hands a computer book that’s designed to make using the Internet as easy and comfortable as possible. Besides the fact that this book is easy to read, it’s different from other books about computers. The following sections tell you why.

Information that’s easy to look up

This book is a reference, and that means that I want you to be able to find instructions quickly. To that end, the people who have contributed to this book have taken great pains to make sure that the material in this book is well organized and easy to find. The descriptive headings help you find infor­mation quickly. The bulleted and numbered lists make following instructions simpler. The tables make options easier to understand.

A task-oriented approach

Most computer books describe what the software is, but this book explains how to complete tasks with the software. I assume that you came to this book because you want to know how to do something — build a Web site, send e-mail, conduct research on the Internet. You came to the right place. This book describes how to get tasks done.
