In-line/On-line:
Fundamentals of the Internet
and World Wide Web


Ellen and I finished the first edition of In-line/On-line in 1998. The second edition was completed in early 2001. It is now available from McGraw-Hill. This page briefly describes the book. These are Web presentations that Ray uses for his class: book and class. These presentations are available to any instructor adopting the book. The class presentation can easily be customized for your class. We have also written an Instructor's Guide that is now available from Mc-Graw Hill. The Instructor's Guide contains solutions to all of the exercises in the book. It also contains a number of sample exams with solutions, and a bunch of sample exam questions. The Instructor's Guide is 300 pages long. McGraw Hill publishes In-line/On-line. They also serve up the pages for our Web presentations Our pages contain the very latest information which is then installed at the Mc-Graw Hill site. All of this material is available to an instructor online. The Online Learning Center for students is available to students purchasing the book.

The World Wide Web is the greatest non-governmental collaborative effort in the history of human-kind. There is scarcely an industry or individual that has not been affected by the proliferation of electronic publishing, and terms that were known only to a handful of specialists five years ago (e-mail, hypertext, newsgroups, and so on) have entered the public lexicon. Because there is no comprehensive textbook covering the latest developments, Greenlaw and Hepp's In-line/On-line is for everyone interested in becoming computer literate.

In-line/On-line covers every important topic, from e-mail to the Internet to Java to the intricacies of HTML programming and Web graphics. In addition to highly approachable style, this class-tested textbook boasts more than 600 exercises to stimulate students' interests and introduce them to on-line writing.

* The 600+ exercises cover every topic presented and appear throughout the text. As well as helping students master the material, they provide an ideal source for homework, tests, and quizzes.

* This textbook features not one but two accompanying Web sites, one devoted to the text itself and the other to the class. The textbook site features rendered code from the text, extensive HTML examples, and useful links related to each chapter. The class site may be customized by the instructor, and offers a sample syllabus, lecture summaries, a sample project, grading schemes, and other useful information.

* The text covers the most recent developments in Internet publishing, Web browsing, and Internet business issues.

* The accompanying 380 page Instructor's Guide contains solutions to all of the exercises in the text plus six sample exams with solutions. In addition, there is a chapter containing a large number of sample exam questions.

* PowerPoint lectures notes are available to instructors.

* The Online Learning Center is a great resource for students.
