Notes:

At Robelle, we have found that O'Reilly publishes excellent books on Internet and UNIX topics. For this reason, their books are mentioned in this paper whenever a topic warrants it. We even have an O'Reilly page:

Other useful resources are listed under the "References" section on the bottom of these workbook pages.

There are many things to consider in Web publishing, things such page design, making pages compatible with all browsers, and optimizing document size for good performance with slow modems. "Publish a Book on the Web" aims to be a practical primer on how to put your work on the Web, based on my trials and tribulations while I prepared the SMUG Book for Web release.

I assume you know a few basic things about the World Wide Web (WWW). For an excellent introduction to the Web, to browsers and to servers, go to David Greer's paper "Client/Server, the Internet and WWW":
