After all the arguing about doing homework, I've made up a list of
very basic links for newbies. It will eventually appear on the first
page of the Piping Design Web site under the heading of Basic Intro
or something. The idea is for a moderator to refer to the link when
rejecting a 'cn u explain piping' post. Most of this stuff is common
knowledge to anyone with a few years experience in the biz, although
useful to anyone. If anyone has a favorite link with *elementary*
materials, I'd be grateful to hear from you. I'd especially like
links from experienced designers and engineers for educational or
training classes. I'd also be grateful if everyone would try the
links to make sure they work for everyone.
