There are lots of books about how to use the Web. This book isn’t one of them. We’re
assuming that if you’re reading this book, you already have a working connection to
the Internet, you have a modern web browser such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera,
Internet Explorer version 10, or Microsoft Edge, and that you’re familiar with the basics
of how the Web and the Internet work. You should also have at least a passing acquain-
tance with some other elements of the Internet, such as email and FTP, because we refer
to them in general terms in this book.
In other words, you need to have used the Web to provide content for the Web. If you
meet this one simple qualification, read on!
Many of the screenshots in this book are made on a Macintosh computer, but you can
do all the work on Windows or a Linux machine if that’s what you use. You should just
be familiar with how your operating system works and where common programs are
located.
