ITNewb is a social network that revolves around a group of volunteer authors that write articles to help others learn about technology. We are working to create a centralized, high quality archive primarily in the areas of development, graphic design & media, hardware and gadgets, networking, servers, operating systems, software and digital security.
If you haven't yet, we encourage you to take the Site tour and learn why ITNewb rocks.
Technology tracks at colleges and universities start with the basics. If they started students off in advanced C++ programming, the drop out rate would skyrocket. The purpose of the Newb Initiative is to provide beginners with comprehensive topic stepping stones much like you'd find in a college.
Newb is a relative term, and whether someone wants to learn about computer hardware or advanced network topologies and router programming, we envision a single site where they'll have the opportunity to learn and advance in the many fields of technology.
The idea is to write articles for absolute beginners, and as more and more articles are published, approved and archived begin to cover the more advanced topics and facets of technology. Please see the Topics index to help out.
