The Internet for Dummies
Billed as a book for beginner to intermediate level
Internet users, this guide covers all the basics at
a level of depth suitable for those with no previous
knowledge. It also aims to give you that little bit
of extra understanding, so that your first forays into
the Internet are better informed about its range and
scope. For example, the first part of the book introduces
the Internet, explaining what it does and how it works.
You'll learn about the wide reach of the Internet,
and about ensuring that your own data remains private
when you want it to. You'll also find out about how
to keep the Internet safe for the children in your
household. But as well as that you'll pick up on intranets
and extranets, two Internet-like systems that can benefit
companies or organizations, which, while important,
are not necessarily things that the absolute beginner
needs to know about.

Windows XP for Dummmies
Windows XP for Dummies does a good job in its role
as the flagship of the Dummies line, providing Windows
novices with a guided introduction to Microsoft's latest
and most feature-rich operating system for everyday
computer users. Its treatment of computer, Windows
and Internet fundamentals is among the best on the
market, and author Andy Rathbone has an appealing way
of writing that's simultaneously fun and detail-rich.
If you're a Windows novice--meaning you don't know
how to undelete a file that's been sent to the Recycle
Bin, or what a Web browser is, or what it means to
"cut and paste" text--you will get a lot
out of Rathbone's work.
Some aspects of this book could be better, such as
the part of the networking chapter that calls for an
Ethernet hub without noting that a switch, though possibly
more expensive, would do the job better, without any
additional hassle. The networking coverage also does
an inadequate job of explaining how to share a cable
modem or DSL connection among several computers. This
is a serious shortcoming, and we're getting to the
point in our evolution as a society of computer users
at which we can assume that everyone knows what the
"Cancel" button does and would rather read
about the newer, more exciting things that Windows
XP can do. Even the dummies aren't that dumb anymore.
But, that said--and Rathbone does confine a lot of
the really elementary stuff to a skinny introductory
chapter--this book is a boon to people who aren't familiar
with Windows XP or its immediate predecessors (including
Windows 95, Windows98, and Windows Me). It's also great
for people who have learned a little about Windows
on the job or from their kids, and want to expand on
what they know.

The Internet
The Rough Guide 2002 The Internet moves
at lightening speed and if you are new to the online
world it can be a touch intimidating. However, as Angus
Kennedy makes clear in The Rough Guide to the Internet
2001, you don't need to know much before you can find
your way around all the different sites.
The first half of this pocket-sized book covers the
basics, with step-by-step instructions on everything
you will need to know from choosing an Internet service
provider to building your own Web site and the second
part is a condensed listing of Web sites to get you
going.
The style of this smart book is very refreshing. Kennedy
does not mince his words and his guide is likely to
turn you into a net guru in next to no time. This updated
edition is packed with practical advice including the
latest on MP3s, information on how to log on while
you are on the road and also includes a concise potted
history of the Web.
If Tony Blair was serious about getting the UK online
he would insist that everyone got a copy of this book
in their Christmas stockings.
