For a primer on concepts, I'd like to recommend my own articles,
available at http://www.cyber.com.au/users/jenn/ . Those articles are
just concept primers, they're *intentionally* non-specific on details,
and intentionally written for laymen.

But if everyone reads and understands those, we have a baseline to build
the course from. 

If anyone -doesn't- understand something in the article, or knows
something to be wrong, please say so - I need bug reports. :)
