2. check out netrunnerdb.com for deck ideas. they have some core starter decks, and
you can also see all the new cards and crazy decks people are making

3. there are some really great YouTubers that can teach you about the game, and are
fun to watch:

beyoken

metropole grid

code marvellous

willingdone

beyoken, willingdone and the older metropole grid videos are particularly good for
beginners since they often take you through explanations on rules
and cards and tips and tricks.

the community is really friendly too - ask us questions in the chat, and feel free
to set up games with the beginner tag (so people aren't impatient
with you and play easier decks).

if you want to play against card pools you're used to, say Core 2.0 only in your
game name
