Internet/Beginners

    If technology changes faster than you can say 'Microsoft Explorer', this site was an obvious one. It lists the popular questions asked by most new users to their help desks, newsgroups and shareware sites.

    Visit this site to find out about anything related to computers, especially the Internet. Just type the word/ phrase you are looking for in the search facility, and you'll get the best possible definition and examples to make the concept clear. Don't miss the sections 'How the Internet Works' and 'Cyberculture'.

    A good site for newcomers, especially those who think the Net is for 'technical' people only. Inspirational stories, how-to articles, web tours -- all written by novices about their Web experiences.

    An extremely useful web site, it hosts an online dictionary. Just key in the net-related term you are looking for and pop comes the answer.

    An excellent search-based Internet Glossary. Just key in a term you are looking for, and you'll get the best possible definition. Also check out the Internet Guide for some helpful tips about life online.

    Lists several sites dealing with the topic. 'E-mail Etiquette' highlights some very interesting things -- why one should avoid being a novelist while writing mails, and how too much punctuation disturbs the recipient.

    It makes a startling statement to start off: 'Anything put up on the Web is openly available for anyone in the world to see'. And then goes on to explain how you can be more cautious while communicating online in the nicest way possible. There is a parting word of advice, too: 'Be forgiving in Cyberworld'.

    An excellent site for learners. Starts off with 'What is the Internet?' and goes all the way to complex programming languages and Web marketing. 'Myths of the Internet' features some very interesting (a little scary, too!) hoaxes on the Net.

    If you've never seen the World Wide Web, or if you've done a bit of surfing but don't really understand what's going on, then you might appreciate this site, especially the introduction page.

    For those who want to know how the Internet fits into their business. An excellent alphabetically-arranged index gets you the best possible definition of the term you are looking for. Also features regularly updated articles on Web marketing.

    Make this the first halt if you are just beginning your journey on the infohighway. For starters, you can read 'What is the Web?', and by the time you reach the 'What are IRC channels?' through 'What is HTML?', you can safely call yourself Web-versed!

    'Netiquette' is network etiquette, the dos and don'ts of online communication. This site initiates you into the common online courtesies. If you want to know it all 'quick' and jump on to cyberspace, go through 'Core Rules' and 'Love and Sex in Cyberspace'.

    A classic, considering it was written by a novice! It takes you step by step into the Web world with sections like 'Beginner's Guide to Net Jargon and Computerese', 'Beginner's Guide to Weird and Wacky Web Sites' and 'Beginner's Guide to Chat'.

    You won't find a better site than this if you are just getting started on the net. Covers everything that could make your journey on the net faster and more fruitful in a lucid and simple manner. An extremely user friendly interface, a couple of excellently written articles and a handy bunch of tips are the icing on the cake

    Easy, well-presented details on one-to-one and one-to-many online communication. Lots of interesting stuff, like: 'Limit an e-mail to about 50 kilobytes' and 'a single line of mail should not be more than 65 characters'.
