Net sites: | For beginners |
| Newcomers to the Net are looked after well with these
great sites. A Little History of the World Wide Web There is nothing really spectacular about this page but it certainly is informative even if it's sometimes boring. Those of you who think that the Internet is a mere fad that sprung up overnight will be quite surprised at some of the things you will read here. CyberTracker A simple way to access major parts of the Web without being overwhelmed. Try this page for links to search engines, software sites and even Internet clubs. Glossary of the Internet If you still think the backbone is a part of your body, a gopher is an animal, and a cookie is an American biscuit, check out this glossary. It'll fill you in on these and the rest of the ever-growing online lexicon. Internet Starter Kit A free online version of the best-selling Internet book, this is another great place to begin life online. While it is updated occasionally it can get out-of-date quickly but still acts as a suitable introduction to the World Wide Web. MetaCrawler Thorough by slowish search engine that generates multiple queries to different search engines at the same time. It also pre-checks for spurious 404 (file not found) errors and eliminates duplicates. And rather than using long cryptic parameters, it uses menus and drop-down boxes to refine your search, making it great for beginners.

As well as providing a simple introduction to the Web, this tutorial points you to other online guides and tutorials covering all aspects of the Internet.
