Hypertext Hands-On!
AN INTRODUCTION TO A NEW WAY OF ORGANIZING AND ACCESSING INFORMATION
by Ben Shneiderman
and Greg Kearsley
You can buy
this book online from Amazon.com.
This innovative book/software package provides the first hands-on,
non-technical introduction to hypertext. Hypertext is a computer technology
for manipulating information; in a grater sense, it is a new way of reading
and writing. With the IBM-PC diskettes provided in this package, you will
learn about hypertext by experiencing it. You will discover what it is
like to read interactively, to find information according to your own needs
and interests.
Both the book and the software versions cover the basic concepts of
hypertext, typical hypertext applications, and currently available authoring
systems. They also raise important design and implementation issues. The
book is self-contained and can be read from beginning to end without a
computer. The software is also self-contained and, presenting hypertext
in hypertext form, can be read in any order you choose.
Since the two versions contain largely similar material, they provide
and interesting basis for comparison between conventional text presentation
and hypertext.
