Book Review: Indispensible Reference For Novices and Web Heads Alike
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd originally purchased this to give to my husband who's constantly pestering me to look things up on the internet because he doesn't know how to find them easily. After thumbing through a few chapters, I realized that it's not just for novices at all.
I'm a blogger, and I'm online almost constantly. Even so, I found plenty of information here that has made my online time more efficient, just as the title promised.
Not only did I wind up getting another copy for my husband (because I'd dog-eared the first one for my own use), but I gave one to a relative who's driven me nuts with her "How do I...?" phone calls (which almost without fail come right as we sit down to dinner).
Awesome resource.
Book Review: Rule the Web
Summary: 4 Stars
Mark Frauenfelder certainly covers a lot of ground and isn't kidding with the books subtitle "How to do anything and everything on the Internet - better, faster, easier.
This is the kind of book that you will want to keep on a shelf right by your computer for handy reference. Read the book from front to back cover or skip around and sample the chapters that interest you the most. Whichever way you do it you will learn some handy new things about surfing the web.
You may also want to keep paper, pencil, and a highlighter handy for noting all the web site addresses in the book. I was disappointed there wasn't an appendix of them or at least some method of highlighting them when the book was printed.
Book Review: If you can't learn from this book, you're some kind of god
Summary: 5 Stars
One site described in the book made the whole purchase price worthwhile. A gold mine of information. The claim on the cover that you can "raze you old home page and build a modern Web masterpiece" is unfounded. Otherwise spectacular.Book Review: From Reference to Inspiration
