Description

You are a busy architect/engineer/contractor who has just received an internet connection and are thinking "so what!" With slow connections it is costing you time and money to search for information - and often the information you find is less than useful. This book provides a guide to the use of tools to improve use of the Net and a comprehensive guide to where the best information sources are to be found for the building design and construction professional. Learn where to find design images or hard technical information; where to join discussion groups for advice on CAD software; and how to join mailing lists to automatically receive up-to-date information on your chosen specialist subject areas. Using this book can help the busy professional to optimize online time by determining the key sites to visit before connecting to the Internet. Topics are conveniently arranged by subject showing where to find the key "index sites" together with details of many specialist sites.
