Your Internet Consultant - The FAQs of Life Online
3.25. Can I get more information online about tools for navigating the Internet?
Yes. There are many, many guides online to help you learn to use Gopher,
Veronica, World Wide Web, Telnet, and a dozen other programs. Check Appendix B,
"Information About the Internet, on the Internet," for a big list of them, but
before you do, I'll tell you a few of my favorites for beginners:
- Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet. A book in itself, the Big Dummy's
Guide will show the ins and outs of navigating the Net. Available by FTP:
ftp.eff.org:/pub/Net_info/Big_Dummy/*
- There's Gold in Them Networks! A classic guide to exploring the
Internet. Available by FTP: nic.merit.edu
:/documents/fyi/fyi_10.txt
- John December's Internet Tools
List. (Part of which is reproduced in Appendix B.) A wonderful list of
informational documents and services. If you want to know more about something
online, check here for the place to find it. It is also available via FTP:
