Reference Materials Useful Software Terms - Reference Sites A Note on Internet References

Wikipedia has received a bad wrap that may not be fully deserved. One of its biggest strengths is also a very big weakness. Anyone can create or change a Wikipedia article. This means that if you know something about a topic, you can help to make Wikipedia a more accurate reference site. However, for topics that are controversial, different groups may keep changing the answer to suit their view. This is not very likely to affect basic reference articles, but should be kept in mind when relying on ANYTHING found on the Internet. Anyone, anywhere, can say anything using the Internet.

I find another useful site for Computer terminology is Webopedia . The explainations at Webopedia are a little more basic. Ultimately, Both of these sites are useful, but a good search engine such as Google or Yahoo can be your best resource.
