Using Netscape Accelerated Technical Training for Web and Intranet Users
Format	Half day. Emphasis on practical skills. Hands-on.
Audience	This course is for corporate intranet and Internet users who want to use these resources productively. Basic computer usage skills are suggested but not required.
Overview	Surfing the Web is easy -- click on a hyperlink and away you go. But there's more to the Web than surfing; Web pages are no longer the only type of data the Web can deliver. The Web offers a variety of services and Netscape has evolved to become the universal user interface. The Web is a general-purpose data delivery mechanism. Netscape can spawn "helper" or "viewer" applications as appropriate to process data of any kind. A growing list of these data types is handled by Netscape itself. This course teaches, among other things, Netscape usage for these additional data types, including e-mail, netnews, file transfers, Internet searches, applets, and plug-ins. It also teaches the underlying mechanisms including protocols, firewalls, clients and servers, proxies, and the meanings of URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). Essential questions are answered, including, "What does Internet access cost? Who's paying? Will my activity impact my company's bottom line?" Practical skills are conveyed, in particular, what can go wrong, how to interpret the error messages, and what to do about them. Finally, the course teaches not only how to be a skilled consumer of Internet resources but also what's involved in being a producer. In the final exercise, participants build rudimentary Web pages.
Objectives	This course will equip you to: Use Netscape effectively. Navigate the World Wide Web. Use Internet services: FTP Searchers Netnews Customize and troubleshoot Netscape. Use network resources wisely. Create a basic home page.
