Hey All,

I'm currently focusing on getting up to speed with regards to website creation, coding, e-commerce, and basically anything having to with creating value through my computer. Since I realize that I'm waaay behind when it comes to computer/internet based business systems, I went on Ebay and bought a used copy of Adobe CS3 just to get aquainted with all of the different programs, and now I'm starting the learning curve. I know it's older software but I'm starting from scratch here anyway, so there's plenty of room to grow before I need the newest version.

I found Lynda.com, which appears to have a ton of video tutorials on many different subjects which seem fastlane-relevant to me. It's $25/month to get full access to the entire library, and there's another option at a slightly higher price point with more features - but the $25 seems like a steal to me, since I've checked Amazon.com and found video tutorials that cost from $20 - $50.

The 1st class I clicked on is for Dreamweaver essentials and it's over 10 hours long! Gotta be something in there to learn, and that's just one of MANY available. I'm going to be digging into that as soon as I finish my workout.

So, I just signed up this morning, and:

1. I wanted to pass it along to anyone that may also find it useful.

2. I wonder if anyone has used it and what they think of the service.

Enjoy!

Lynda.com is great for learning web programming related stuff. Used it years ago to master drupal development.

However "programming being fastlane skill" strongly disagree. Focus on what makes you money! Right now i outsource all programming related tasks even if i can do it myself.

Right, good point on that! I guess what I'm doing at the moment is really just getting an understanding of how things are created, and from there I can decide what to hire out and what I will be doing myself.

Having focused the last 15 or so years developing my skills to build up a rental housing business, I'm totally green when it comes to internet marketing, creating websites, etc, so I'm developing a fundamental skill set in that area. It's pretty boring to 99% of the members of a forum like this I'm sure lol! I'm basically playing catch-up.

Don't forget that building site is BY FAR less important than knowing how to 1. bring traffic to it 2. monetize this traffic.
Knowing how programming works is great to help hire right person, but don't dig too deep. Get basics. And focus on more important fields.

I definitely agree there.
