RANT:

Can someone please explain to me why it is that 99.5% of web design how to books start out with a discussion on 1) what the internet is and 2) How to use your web browser??????????

no joke...i just downloaded a HTML, XHTML, and CSS how to guide off the internet, and the first chapter explains how to start up explorer and reset the default page.

My guess is, is if someone doesn't already know how to double click on the Explorer or FireFox icon, then most likely they wouldn't be reading this stupid ebook (that they had to download) in the first place.

Cut through the filler and get to it already!!!!!!

Its because must of the guides are designed for beginners , and they just want to cover all the basics, and they might get paid by the page lol.

maybe the book is in print too...

Any E-Book i've seen starts with that.

I even tried to read: "How to get 1 Million Visitors in 1 day" and 100% of it was pointless information.

Most ebooks I've seen are written toward people like my mom, who gets confused if somebody emails her a picture as an attachment. There's still a lot of people on the Internet who have no clue what they're doing.
