The Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) is growing each day. More and more people require either to access information, send and receive electronic information or just to log into remote computers.
This book provides an up-to-date account of all the component parts of the Internet and the WWW, from architecture through to networking. It discusses key specifications relating to electronic mail, such as MiMe encoding and SMTP, and shows how they are used to send mail around the world.
Full backup for the book is provided with electronic mail and the author has set up a WWW page which contains links to other useful sources of information.

This book provides an introduction to the Java programming language and also covers other related areas such as HTML, JavaScript, CGIscript and VRML. Most of the Java programs relate to practical examples, including:
* Menus and forms
* Graphics
* Event-driven software, such as mouse and keyboard events
* Networking
* Interacting with other programs
* Animation
It also covers fundamental areas such as TCP/IP and the HTTP protocol.
The Java compiler, source code, background information and source code is available from the author over the Internet.

This book provides an excellent foundation in modern information systems and data communications. It has five basic themes:
* Digital Information Sources and Multimedia
* The Internet, the World Wide Web and Java
* Local area Networking
* Wide area Networking
* Video Conferencing
The information sources material covers the main standards in digital information on modern computer systems. It includes the conversion of sound and images into a digital format.
The networking material introduces the main local area network technologies:
* Ethernet
* Token Ring
* FDDI
Modern Wide Area Network technologies like ATM are considered, also the usage of ISDN and Modems for interconnection.

Many computer networks are now a hybrid of different types, typically a mixture of two or more different operating systems. These systems must successfully integrate for the complete system to operate properly, whether it is in terms of its compatibility, its security or its ease-of-use. The main aim of this book is to cover the configuration, architecture and networking of the three of the most popular networking operating systems - Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare and UNIX.
The book provides an introduction to programming with Pascal and extends this to show how Borland Delphi is used to development Microsoft Windows programs. It is packed full of real-life application and splits into three main sections:
* Pascal programming
* Pascal applications
* Delphi programming
Practical applications include: software interrupts, hardware interrupts, graphics, date and time, system commands, RS-232 and parallel ports.
