From the Preface

The book is written for people who want to learn how to use Netscape Navigator to access the World Wide Web and how to get the most from the resources available on the Internet. No prior experience with the World Wide Web or the Internet is assumed. We pay some attention to why things work the way they do, but the emphasis is on how to learn to effectively use the World Wide Web and associated services in a step-by-step, organized manner. The book can be used for self study, or it can be used as a primary or supplemental text book in courses dealing with the Internet and the World Wide Web.
