Introduction One of the most often-repeated questions of recent years is 'Are you on the Web?' The growth ofthe World Wide Web (WWW or simply 'Web') has been phenomenal. It seems that everyone has a web site, or is at least planning have one, and everyone wants to get on-line with their products and services, accounts of their favourite hobbies, their resumes, or pictures of their loved ones. So that you too can join in the on-line revolution, this book will help you get onto the web: to make informed decisions about developing your own web site, how to plan and design the site, and then how to get the site on-line for the world to see.

You may have been sent some documents by a client which you subsequently discover you can't read, as the disk seems to be of the wrong type.
