NEW HANDBOOK REVEALS THE ESSENTIALS IN THE LATEST GENERATION OF WEB
TECHNOLOGIES

Berkeley, CA, April 30, 1996--Osborne/McGraw-Hill announces today at Spring
Internet World '96 the publication of Beyond HTML, a one-stop resource for
mastering the sophisticated electronic publishing tools that are poised to
reshape, recreate, and revolutionize the Web. Published just as Web
designers are beginning to struggle with the limited graphics and layout
capabilities of HTML, author Richard Karpinski's book provides the insight
and techniques to break free of these constraints and create stunning,
effective, and interactive Web pages. 

Written for both the new and the experienced Webmaster, as well as those
seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest innovations, Beyond HTML is a
comprehensive look at the design and authoring formats that are
electrifying the world of Web publishing. In examining these new tools,
Karpinski separates the contenders from the pretenders to select the most
important new technologies that will prove essential to staying
competitive. Beyond HTML provides an in-depth analysis of: 

* All the hot HTML alternatives, including Adobe Acrobat.

* Interactivity and multimedia, with a focus on Sun's Java and JavaScript,
Microsoft's Internet Studio, Macromedia's Shockwave, and all the latest
Netscape technology. Karpinski reveals the basics of Java programming and
gives sample Java code that can be put to use immediately. 

* Virtual reality on the Web, with a focus on VRML technology and tools. 

* Real-time audio and video, with a focus on RealAudio, the exciting
technology that's appearing on the best Web pages, with follow-up
discussion on DSP Group's TrueSpeech, VocalTec's Internet Wave, and
VoxWare's ToolVox. 

According to Scott Rogers, Osborne/McGraw-Hill's executive editor,
"Webmasters are discovering that merely putting up a good HTML site today
is no guarantee of success-it's just as important to ensure that the site
keeps improving and getting better, more attractive, and more effective.
Beyond HTML puts the essentials of all the relevant innovations within
easy reach, helping Webmasters maintain rich and compelling sites, even as
their tools and technologies evolve." 

Illustrated throughout with eye-catching screen shots, Beyond HTML makes
good use of hands-on examples from some of the most exciting sites on the
Web in order to build proficiency with the powerful Web tools that created
them. 

Beyond HTML is softcover and 500 pages. Suggested retail price: $27.95.
