Characterization of beginners

Semi-beginners are people who:

Have already done a first course in group theory (or equivalent)
Are already (vaguely) familiar with the conventions, notations and ideas both within group theory and within closely related areas of mathematics (Such as ring theory, commutative algebra).
Can read and understand a group theory definition without necessarily having to plough through examples

Requirements of semi-beginners

As a semi-beginner, you may want:

A quick way to check out definitions of basic and not-so-basic terms that may arise in a second course in group theory
A quick way to hunt for proofs of statements, facts and theorems
Good survey and motivational articles that point leads to further territory in group theory and consolidate existing ideas
Basic definitions in areas allied to group theory (such as representation theory, combinatorial group theory, etc.)
