[Chapter-delegates] On-line course on (medium? level) ICT literacy

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Jacek Gajewski

Stanford offers some courses online, some of them free

http://see.stanford.edu/SEE/lecturelist.aspx?coll=824a47e1-135f-4508-a5aa-866adcae1111

I found some interesting tutorial with the search string "network
tutorials" at RAD University http://www.rad.com/12/5266/

There are several language resources such these on Jave at

http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/

(David Eck's approach to teaching is comprehensive. The courses start
with the fundamentals )
