Discover Desktop Conferencing with Netmeeting Book

As if multimedia Web sites and worldwide e-mail weren't enough, the Internet has blossomed into a great medium for far-flung groups of people to communicate and collaborate with one another. This is possible, thanks to cutting-edge software like Microsoft's NetMeeting.

Now, to make sure you're not left out when the next meeting in cyberspace is called to order, authors Mike Britton and Suzanne Van Cleve offer Discover Desktop Conferencing with NetMeeting 2.0 -- with the latest, ready-to-use versions (not demos or trial versions) of NetMeeting, Chat, and Internet Explorer right on the accompanying bonus CD-ROM. Comprehensive and easy-to-follow even if you're an Internet newbie, Discover Desktop Conferencing with NetMeeting 2.0 shows you step-by-step how to

• Install and customize NetMeeting
• Make a phone call over the Internet
• Share an application like Word or Excel with others over the Internet at the same time
• Transfer files -- to one recipient or many simultaneously
• Get creative electronically by whiteboarding ideas
• Have a chat session in which participants type out messages to one another
• Meet face-to-face even when participants are thousands of miles apart

Discover Desktop Conferencing with NetMeeting 2.0 also covers how to implement NetMeeting's features in your professional life for virtual meetings, customer service and technical support, telecommuting, and distance learning, as well as in your personal life for staying in touch with friends and family and even making new friends and acquaintances.
