What follows below is a collection of tutorials and articles designed for both the Internet beginner and the self-taught intermediate.

Although best read from front to back, you are welcome to browse by specific topics below. Work with one other person to check answers on your Pre-Test. Most of the questions can be answers from the Internet 101 website. You can access it from the following URL:
http://netforbeginners.about.com/cs/internet101/a/inet_handbook.htm

You should read through each of the sections. Although some of the sections are not covered on the pre-test, you may find the information very interesting and informative.
