understanding electrical components

[qdgjcl]

Can anybody tell me how to read electrical component, other than resistors? I have some but don't know what they are or there value. If you can not tell me, do you know of a website that would be able to help?

Thank you;

I don't know what happened to the 1N 2N question was on here lately but I thought this link has some very useful reference on what some of those funny numbers mean.<p>http://www.qsl.net/ok1cfp/semicond.htm
