Introduction

The Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks from around the world that provides a wealth of information on nearly any topic you can imagine. The World Wide Web, often simply called the Web, is a subsystem of the Internet. The Web has become the definitive "hot spot" for Internet users primarily because it allows for anyone to graphically and visually "advertise" themselves or a specific cause, and have this representation 24 hours a day.

Many individuals do not have the need to create their own Web page, as this type of representation is called, but they do want to have access to and be able to view the Web sites of others. Whatever your situation, you will be utterly amazed by the tremendous variety and amount of information that is available on the World Wide Web and captured in this book.
