Comments about the original Roadmap workshop:

"We've seen no more comprehensive and user-friendly
demystification of the Net, or how to use it, anywhere."
--The Detroit Monthly, 1/1/95

"If you're looking for a free, easy way to learn a lot
about the Internet, look no further."
--The Washington Post, 4/6/95

"Each of the Workshop's major topics ... is covered in superb detail ..."
--The Warsaw (Poland) Business Journal, 6/9/95

Best Stuff for Beginners

Roadmap96 is a free, 27 lesson Internet training workshop designed to teach new "Net travellers" how to travel around the rapidly expanding (and often-times confusing) "Information Superhighway" without getting lost. The original Roadmap workshop, which debuted in the Fall of 1994, rapdily became the most popular on-line Internet training workshop in history. Roadmap96 is a completely revised and updated version of the original Roadmap workshop. Roadmap96's lessons are primarily written for people with accounts on command-line systems (like UNIX, VAX/VMS, or VM/CMS), but everyone is welcome to participate in the workshop!

If you want to see the topics that are covered in the Roadmap96 workshop, check out the Roadmap96 syllabus (at https://www.webreference.com/roadmap96/syllabus.html). If you are interested in being part of the next Roadmap96 workshop session, there are two ways that you can participate:
