Full screen mode & screen resolutions
Putting your browser in full screen mode will make some pages much easier to navigate. With MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) you can press F11 to toggle full screen mode. There are many sections with large and sometimes full screen graphics which also have rows of buttons for user controlled sequential images. The screen shot below demonstrates a user controlled "slide show". The text suggests appropriate moments to click on specific buttons that correlate to the concepts being discussed. Learning is fun with interactive graphics. They make it easy to comprehend new concepts clearly, build a solid foundation and advance quickly.
Gas Fitter Basics makes extensive use of graphics and animated graphics. There are also camera icons which when clicked will open a pop up window of a photograph.
Click the camera to see an example.
The contents.htm page has button links to each section. The sections are presented in a purposeful order where subsequent material is usually based on knowledge gained in the previous sections. If you do not go through the book in the order presented you may find it difficult to comprehend. Most sections have a link to "Review Questions" for that section. Your answers are marked when you click on the submit button. Any incorrect answers are marked with a red X to allow you to review any areas where you are not satisfied with your results. At the end of the book is a 100 question multiple choice exam. The exam is an opportunity for you to test yourself on how much of the material you have grasped from this book. A JavaScript routine automatically checks your answers and displays your mark in percentage. Every response is marked with an x or a check mark to indicate the correct responses. You might find it amusing taking the test before and after reading the book to see how your mark changes.

- If using 1024x768 screen resolution (or higher) no side scrolling is required in this ebook. If horizontal scrollbars appear, you are viewing Gas Fitter Basics in a resolution lower than 1024x768.
- With few exceptions, no vertical scrolling is required to be able to see large full screen graphics. If you can't see a large graphic without vertical scrolling you are using too much screen real estate for toolbars, status bars etc.
