I don't know if any of you have used the training videos at Lynda.com,
but I find them excellent - short, informative and sometimes even
amusing. Normally the price is $29 per month (without the exercises), so
this is a great offer! Then again, free is always good in my book. The
offer below came in my email, since I am a sometimes subscriber.
