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 Internet and Web 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 560 exercises to stimulate students' interests and introduce them to on-line writing.

* The 560+ 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.

* There is an accompanying on-line learning center available from McGraw-Hill.

* There are full powerpoint lecture notes available for instructors. These consist of about 600 powerpoint slides.

* 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 Resource 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.

* The accompanying 150 page Quiz Book contains 20 question multiple choice quizzes plus solutions for each chapter.

* The accompanying 190 page Student Solutions Manual contains solutions to all odd exercises in the text.
