INTRODUCTION

"The Internet is Worldwide Shared Information.".

What is Internet Publishing ?
 

Internet Publishing is:

Sharing Information Worldwide
via an Interconnected System of Computers
Called the INTERNET.

The Worldwide Web is:

The Addressing System Used
to Locate Resources.

A Web Page is:

A Document or Collection of
Information to be Shared.

A Web Site is:

A Collection of Web Pages
Located on a Common Computer.

A Home Page is:

The First Page Displayed at a Site,
Similar to a Table of Contents or
A Front Door.

How is Internet Publishing Accomplished ?

Man uses tools to accomplish tasks.

The Computer is a tool which is used to
Construct, Publish, and View Information.

The Computer contains nothing but
Stored Instructions called "Applications",
Sometimes referred to as "Software".

Applications can be used to:

• Manage Information

• Process Information

The Applications are the Instructions for:

• The Computer's Processor

• "YOU" the User/Operator

The Internet, with all of it's Shared Resources,
is Constructed and Maintained with Software
Applications,  many of which are
Shared on the Internet Itself.

It is growing at a rapid pace, it feeds on itself.
It is a Very Simple Idea, uncontrolled and very successful.
(Most ideas fail because they are over managed
with too many attempts to control.)
