Who We Wrote This Thing For

We've designed this book for people who:

• Are new to the Internet

• Want to create great-looking Web pages without having to get a computer science degree

• Want to personalize their Web pages with beautiful, custom graphics and animations

• Don't appreciate being treated like imbeciles

By the way, being new to the Internet doesn't mean you're an idiot or dummy . You just have other priorities. Good for you.

You do not need to know a thing about the Internet, Web authoring, computer networks, or any of that stuff to get started with this book. However, you do need to know your way around your own computer. With a basic, everyday ability to operate your computer, you're ready to begin. We'll take you the rest of the way.
