Comments on: Flex 2 Essential Training http://blog.flashforwardconference.com/2006/06/30/flex-2-essential-training/ Daily news of interest to the Flash & Flashforward communities.

I am a faithful subscriber to Lynda.com and find their video tutorials top-notch and incredibly helpful in my pursuit to understanding Flex 2 and various other programs. Personally I find lots of gems ("cairigorm") in every lesson I watch. The "Essential Training" was absolutely essential for me. I have contacted Lynda.com and requested further training for Flex 2, which they have since released under the title "Beyond the Basics." I look forward to further releases that will help equip me to do what I want to do with Flex 2. Sorry to here that you were a bit disappointed. Instead of hurling insults why not simply express your desire for more in depth training. I am a firm believer of "Ask and you shall receive!" Try giving it a shot. :) David, I find your comment to be a bit harsh.

If you look at the pattern suggested by other topics in the Online Training Library, "Essential Training" comes first, usually followed by "Beyond the Basics" and then a variety of topic-specific titles. Anyone who has the basics under his or her belt already, and is comfortable with the material presented here, will of course be better-served by future releases. No one thinks that 4.5 hours is sufficient to teach everything there is to know about Flex 2, but for a beginner there's little sense starting in the middle! At the Flashforward conference we'll have both beginner and advanced topics on offer, FYI. This is intended to be introductory material.
