Notes: A very complete introduction to the world of the Internet. Along
with the obligatory topics such as telnet, FTP and Archie, the book
suggests how to get an Internet account and teaches enough UNIX to survive
on the net. This book is more complete and in-depth than many other
Internet books: Dern's deep knowledge of all things Internet shines
through, although sometimes the book is a bit too formal. The book, like
Dern, is laced with dry humor and is UNIX-centric. Highly recommended.

Notes: Of the various glossaries and dictionaries of Internet jargon,
Internet in Plain English is among the most complete. Arranged like a
dictionary, it defines just about every term you're likely to hear on and
about Internet and UNIX, from "abbrev" to " zine". It contains a lot of
technical terms that tech-heads bandy about relentlessly (like CSO name
server, ISDN, and OSI protocol suite) and can give beginners and
intermediate users a leg up in understanding what everyone's talking about.

Price: $12.99
Pages: 317

Notes: This book is part quick reference, part lexicon and part Internet
tutorial. Arranged in dictionary format, it defines Internet jargon (like
shareware and hypertext) gives brief descriptions of tools (like Knowbot
and Listserv), includes short command summaries for using popular programs
(like FTP, emacs and elm), and describes various 'net organizations,
policies and legislature. Nice design and layout. This book contains a wide
variety of information, but is sort of unevenly edited and contains some
factual errors that might not be clear to newbies (for instance, in one
section it confuses the terms upload and download.)
