Product Description

Product Description

The Garage series is a new street smart series of books about technology built

on the premise that technical books don't have to be boring, or be written in

the impersonal voice of an all-powerful narrator. They are characterized by an

edgy, fun, active-voice writing style and, rather than presenting a technology in

a linear tutorial style, are organized into useful topics. They are irreverent,

culturally rooted, and present each author's unique take on solving problems in

a format meant to replicate the experience of searching the Internet for

solutions.



From the Back Cover

Best-selling author and research expert Tara Calishain offers her insider tips and tricks for web searching in this title from Prentice Hall PTR's Garage Series. The book begins with an in-depth look at search engines and other online tools such as browsers. It describes several principles of web searching to help you leverage the scope of the Internet to discover information. The book also covers specific topic areas of Internet searching, both domestically and internationally. Finally, Web Search Garage includes a special technical support section to teach you how to find the support solutions you need on the Internet.

Specific topics covered include

  • Search engines
  • Browsers
  • The principles of web searching
  • Searching for news, jobs, and local information
  • Finding images and audio on the web
  • Searching for people
  • Genealogy research
  • Consumer help
  • Drugs and medical information
  • Kid-safe searching

Whether you're a newbie or an Internet search guru, Web Search Garage is a valuable resource for using the Internet wisely to find the information you're looking for. Calishain's thorough explanations and examples, combined with her entertaining wit will help you fine-tune your skills and search the Internet to find convenient solutions.

5.0 out of 5 stars So i can't programme....until..., 17 Oct 2004
By Christopher (South shields, tyne and wear United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I've read alot of programming books and this one has to be the least mind numbing one i have read. I actually wanted to keep reading this book, it pulls none of the normal crap with telling us how to do things for 100 pages then not actually showing you it. The book tells you why and how things happen, i'm finding this book highly usefull and interesting. I doubt i could say this about any of the other books i own on the subject.

I have to admit i am a less than average programmer, but with this book i am learning some inciteful information that i never picked up the first time around.

I suggest reading this book if you want to brush up on your skills or just get started. I'm just hoping they bringa C++ version out, as i would love to see one.
