Only links that I find most useful are listed, along with a short description. Topics include Search Engines, HTML, Mapping/GIS, Technical Writing and others.

• Search Engines
• Google is the only one I use. Cannot find another one even close to its capability for locating information.
• HTML
• Documents about the WWW written or recommended by Jukka Korpela is a great source for HTML authoring. I keep a local copy of his Learning HTML 3.2 by Examples and refer to it frequently.
• Mapping/GIS
• Google Maps API Documentation is the main resource page for the Google Maps API.
• Google Maps API Tutorial is a great resource for examples and code.
• This is How You Use the Google Maps API is a helpful tutorial for getting started.
• MSR Maps, formerly known as TerraServer-USA, is Microsoft’s free, public access data store of USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial photographs of the United States. These are now several years old and have been surpassed in resolution by Google Maps.
• The USGS-EROS Data Center is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Mapping Division. Lots of free data.
• The USGS Geographic Data Download page gives access to digital raster and vector topo data. Also provides a link to public domain software and GIS utilities for use with USGS geographic data.
• Technical Writing
• The IEEE Computer Society Style Guide is a handy reference for writing about technical topics. Many acroynms, abbreviations, definitions, spellings, etc.
• Other
• Ray's Links (Ray Parrish) has a lot of interesting information on such topics as Ubuntu Linux, Troubleshooting and fixing Windows, Visual Basic, and other computer topics. Definitely worth a look.
