Need to learn how to use some software? How about brushing up on more advanced techniques in Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver or Filemaker Pro?
Well, David Blatner at IndesignSecrets is spreading the word about a free one-week subscription to Lynda.com. If you don’t know, Lynda.com has a huge library of training videos (16,654 according to their website) for a large number of software titles. There doesn’t appear to be any catch – just that your subscription will expire on Jan 16 whether you use it or not.
Over the years, I’ve learned quite a bit of software techniques using services like Lynda. I happen to be a good visual learner and so video works well for me. Much better than pounding through a monolithic ‘how-to’ book. So give it a try.
Here’s the signup link. Remember, the trial ends by Jan 16, 2007.
UPDATE: I’m wrong about the trial subscription expiration date. Anne-Marie, co-host at InDesignSecrets informed me that the trial period ends one week after signup. See her comments below. Thanks Anne-Marie.
Actually, our Lynda.com free trial ends one week after you sign up for it. So your trial is ending 1/16/07 because you signed up for it 1/9/07. If you go to that link and sign up for the free trial on 2/1/07, your free trial would end 2/8/07. And so on, and so on …;-)
Thanks for the link!
