Begin with the Beginning
Windows 95 Tutorials and help pages
COMPUTER TUTOR's Windows 95 Introduction and Tips and Tricks
http://ctutor.com/tips.htmGreat site for those inexperienced Windows 95 users that are just starting out. While not indepth on any topic, it touches on topics from the absolute beginning of how to START, to bits about the Taskbar and Shortcuts, clear up to using the MS Fax program and running MS-DOS programs in 95. Nice page to print and give to a friend who just brought home their computer today!
Installation Instructions
WinZip and Programs in 95
http://www.skyenet.net/~nisly/winzip+.htmlMy own set of instructions for installing programs in Windows 95. They begin by installing Winzip.
Tutorials for the Internet Newbie
Internet Tutorial: Getting Started on the Internet
http://www.ihorizons.net/tutorial/p1.htmAn absolute basic beginner's tutorial. On the very first page it even tells you how to click on a hyperlink! Great place to send your newbie friends.
Baffled by the Internet
http://www.premier.co.uk/baffled.htmGreat place to learn about the Internet, the World Wide Web, E-mail, Newsgroups, even a bit about your modem! Just helps you understand the differences and ideas surrounding these terms. It even has a short glossary to give you a start on some of the terms.
Newbie-U: New User University
http://www.newbie-u.com/They range from the basic 'learn to navigate the Web' tutorial, to using IRC. In between they have tutorials on e-mail, ftp, and usenets. And don't forget to visit P.E.G. the Plain English Glossary!
Brock Wood's Home Page
http://www.brockster.com/I have sent many friends to Brock's pages for instructions on unzipping and ftp instructions. He has other helpful information also, like adding sound to your web page. So be sure to visit if you are a beginner and need some help.
Alex Pukinskis's tutorial on downloading files
http://users.neca.com/alex/dwnldng.htmAlex is cool, he doesn't just tell you how to download, he gives you some understanding of what you are doing and even helps you figure out what to do with the file once you get it!
Patrick Crispen's Internet Roadmap workshop
http://rs.internic.net/roadmap96/This is an excellent tutorial on everything related to the Internet. It may be a couple years old, but nothing in it has gone away. We still have telnet, ftp, e-mail, the World Wide Web, gophers, Usenets, Listservs, IRC/MUDs/MOOs, .... Oh, you don't know what half of these are? Take the course, you'll be glad you took the time. You can even have each lesson sent to your e-mail box rather than doing it online!
the Internet Public Library: Reference Center
http://www.ipl.org/ref/Now that you know a little bit about how to get places and things to do once you get there. This site will help you get to lots of places. They even have connections to tutorials, if you are still not sure about surfing yet. Click on the computer on the receptionist's desk to go to more places to learn about the Internet.
Web Design and More
Professional Web Design- Web Page Authoring Resources
http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/weblinks/index.htmlGreat place for learning anything related to your home page. I highly recommend the "So, you want to make a Web Page!" tutorial on the html links page (Hint: it's by Professional Web Design). I return to these guys' tutorials over and over again. Why remember everything, when you can scoot over to a great site and pick up just the piece of information you need. Whether you want to do just a basic page or work up to doing tables, frames, forms, or even Java, you will find a tutorial here (maybe even by Professional Web Design).
