Go on the Web

There lots of Go resources available on the Internet, and most of them are part of the World Wide Web. Here are just a few of our favorite Go Web pages.

Jan van der Steen's page has an online Go encyclopedia, and more.

Harry Fearnley's Bookmarks will take you pretty much anywhere else in the Go Web that you might want to go.
