From the Preface

The book is written for people who want to learn to use the Internet. The explanations, examples and exercises have come from my experiences learning how to use the Internet and from teaching others in workshops and classes. The target audience is new or infrequent users of the Internet. It's designed for people who have a connection to the Internet and want to know how to use that connection in a productive and satisfying way to access services, resources, and information, and communicate electronically with others. Why things work the way they do on the Internet is given some attention, but the focus is on learning how to use the Internet in a step-by-step manner. The book can be used by individuals learning on their own or it can be used as a primary or supplemental text book in courses dealing with the Internet.
