College of Computing New User Information

So, you're new to the web thing? Here are some things to help you get warmed up to the idea.

Well, your first stop should be CERN's intro to the WWW at:

http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

You should next look at the WWW FAQ. It's posted every four days to comp.infosystems.www.users, comp.infosystems.www.providers, comp.infosystems.www.misc and alt.hypertext. The FAQ will give you pointers to the HTML Primer, the Beginner's Guide to HTML and to more in-depth sources.

You can get an ASCII text version of the FAQ via ftp from:

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/www/faq

The latest version of the FAQ is on the Web at:

http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/www_faq.html

You might also want to check out a paper prepared by Kevin Hughes: "Entering the World Wide Web: A Guide to Cyberspace". It's available as a .ps, .tar, .txt and .zip file. It's available via ftp at:

ftp://ftp.eit.com/pub/web.guide/guide.61/

Also, many of the browsers available today have information available simply by choosing one of the menu options, or a special button on the top of the window. These usually get you to some of the most current information available.
