TechWiseTV for NoobsThis is a featured page

This is a show idea for an ongoing series of mini-shows, (5 minutes or less), that focus on one particular technology or item that may deserve explanation. These will probably be overly obvious to our normal technical crowd...you are not the audience for this.

I am leaving this page unlocked if you want to edit directly on the page. Any other comments on this, please start a discussion thread below.

Siyamak "noob" term 2 Feb 29 2008, 1:50 PM EST by hesaka

typically noob or n00b is used in a derogatory sense. As in to call someone a complete idiot because they know nothing, as if they were new. "Newbie," however, is generally seen as a polite term for someone who is new to something. Though this isn't always the case, it's still more polite than noob or n00b. As per the idea of "TechWiseTV Bootcamp," you could probably do something that would emphasize the word "boot" in "bootcamp." Like "TechWiseTV BootCamp" or "TechWiseTV Boot-camp" or some such.
