Learned
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.

I Didn't Know A Thing About The Net Before This...
...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.
