Beginner training resources

Greetings RoboHelpers,
I've recently downloaded a trial copy of RoboHelp 9 and am just trying to get oriented. My help production system is currently based on Frame 8 and Quadralay WebWorks, so at least I have some single-sourcing experience.
I've been plowing through the product help, but as the "Getting Started" section doesn't actually seem to provide much meaningful assistance in terms of ... well, actually "getting started", I was wondering if there's not some basic resource somewhere that would walk one through setting up a project, mapping styles and generating some basic output, etc. to start getting a feel for the product.
I dabbled with RoboHelp years back prior to the Adobe aquisition - it certainly seems to be vastly more extensive compared to those early days. In particular, I'm hoping that RoboHelp is more customization-friendly than WebWorks, which I've been finding to be too kludgey and brittle in many respects. I appreciate any tutorial suggestions anyone might have, as well as any input w/respect to the whole WebWorks v. RoboHelp question!
Cheers, Brian S.

There's also a bunch of stuff on Peter Grainge's website (grainge.org) and Rick's RoboWizard site (robowizard.com).

Weblogic Server self-training resources

Could anyone point me in the direction some good self-training resources (books, CBT's, etc.) for Weblogic Server - preferably 8.1? We're getting our feet wet with a third-party app that incorporates Weblogic Server 8.1, but we have no experience with it.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Making The Switch | Training Resources?

Greetings:
I've finally decided to jump from FCP7 to FCPX. I know there have been several updates and improvements since the initial release.
My question is, what training resources will provide me with the most updated information to learn FCPX? For the record I love Diana Weynand's Apple Training, but I'm thinking the book is a bit outdated now. Also love Larry Jordan and the stuff he does. Someone also suggested lynda.com. I'm a bit out of the loop on the best training resources. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Wanna' get as much as I can out of my training...
Thanks!

There's a list of training and other resources here: http://fcpx.tv/fcp/index.html I don't know how up to date this list is (It says September but no year listed) but the resources are still good.
I'm a member of Lynda.com. The training is very good but their courses lag behind the changes in FCP X by several months.
The most up to date info in paid training is Larry Jordan and Ripple Training. Both linked on resource page mentioned above.
Also check out the Macbreak Studio podcast from the Pixelcorps http://www.pixelcorps.tv/macbreak_studio This video podcast is done by the Ripple Training guys and provides some great tips on new features.

Hi all,
It would be great if anyone can guide me to the in-depth training resources available for CRM 7.0, apart from the OKP maps and the detailed presentations. Are there any trainings in the form of webex/SAP tutor sessions?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

GRC Training Resources

Does anyone know of any resources that are able to provide GRC training for a team within a company? We have looked into training for Oracle but it would be way outside of our price range. We would prefer instructor led courses, be them online or on site.
Any and all recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank You

I offer training using UPK Training Documentation with Access to our GRC Sandbox for AACG, ETCG, CCG and PCG.

Looking for Xcode training resource using C++

I have been programming for over twenty years in the CAD (Computer Aided Design) field, and I would like to start programming on the Mac. I have owned various Apple computers since 1987 (Apple IIGS, SE30, ... G5), and I used to code on the Mac using Hypercard back in the late 80'sm early 90's. But all my work related programming has been on other computers, UNIX based, DEC VAX, and now for the last ten years the PC using Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET 2003. I'm really not that old, I just started coding when I was very young.
I have always loved the Mac and it is the only computer I have at home. So now I want to start using the Xcode environment. But I would really rather just stick with C++ since that is what I've been using for the last decade or so.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good resource (book, manual, etc.) that teaches the Xcode environment using C++ instead of Objective-C?
Thanks much,
Tom

Xcode is just an IDE. You probably need to make a decision about what API or application framework you want to use.
If you really must use C++, you'll probably have to use Carbon, which exports C APIs. There are some cross-platform app frameworks in C++, such as Qt or wxWidgets, but they're either not free or provide a poor user experience. There don't really seem to be any recent books which detail modern best practices in Carbon, but take a look at http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=CarbonBooks
Most people coming to the platform go down the Cocoa route. Really, if you know C (which you do if you know C++) and you are comfortable with OO concepts, then learning the Obj-C language is just a case of sitting down with Apple's guide for an afternoon. Cocoa brings lots of new concepts to the table, but you'll have an initial barrier to learning an API/framework whatever you go with... Sticking to C++ because it's "what you know" is almost certainly disingenuous.
If you really do just want to learn the IDE, then there are various books which cover Xcode and the associated development tools. See http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=Xcode+Books

"You must upgrade your NDIS driver to use all the capabilities of this version of ACU!"

Beginner Actionscript Resource Question

Are there any good resources that explain how to set up a .as file to run a flash app? I've purchased two books and they both utterly suck at this. This should be easy material, but I can't find anything. I don't want to code in the timeline. I don't want to buy another book for this.
Thanks for any help.

if you want to use a .as file without code, you are basically screwed. .as files are code, and the file does not have any way to know you want to use it without you explicity telling it to use it. if the file is in the same work directory of the rest of your project, you dont have to do that much, you can use it as you would any code written in the same movie, if you are using a class declaration (but the filename of the .as should be the same name as the class declared inside). if you are keeping this file in some other directory, you must use 'packgage' and import declarations according to your file tree structure
filename example.as
package {
public class example { // extends Sprite {
public static function example_func():void {
trace("called from a movie");
} //example_func
}//class
}package
_________in a movie inside the same directory:
example.example_func();

ACE Certification training resources

Hi Everyone
I am studying to become ACE certified in flash cs3 and am
looking from some resources to help me along the way.
I have got flash - classroom in a book
But was looking for something more along the lines of some of
the books for the older version of flash such as
Flash mx 2004 Certified Study Guide
I have looked around but can't seem to find anything similar
for cs3 version, does anyone know of anything.
I want to get an idea of what sort of questions are going to
come up.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Matt

This has been discussed over at Photoshop and the Illy forums. There's no easy answer. The ACE exam words questions badly, vaguely, and convolutedly. I took the PS exam about 8 years ago and passed but some of the questions were so poorly worded I could barely understand what they wanted. Plus some questions dig into the most unused or hidden features of the app.
My advice is to use every aspect of the program possible. Really. Every funky weird thing, no matter how trivial. - Color settings, XML, swf/flash export, tables, output options, etc etc.
Also ask yourself if you are taking this for personal satisfaction or you can get immediate employment improvement/opportunity.

JDeveloper Training Resource

Is there any good training Material for JDeveloper 3.1?
Also i want to know is there any CBT or Book to teach me for obtaining OCP Java 2A skill.
Thanks in advance

Currently, the 3.1 tutorial is a good source.
We are finalizing a Web-based course on JDeveloper 3.1, which should be available in the next month.
As for certification test preparation, the "Candidate Guide" lists all recommended books, sites, etc, for preparation of each test. You can download the Candidate Guide from: http://education.oracle.com/certification/javatrack.html

Training resources for Motion 3

It seems the availability of tutorials for Motion 3 are taking quite a while to make an appearance.
Anyone know of any good books, training DVD's or tutorials for Motion 3?
I have already viewed the two tutorials from a previous thread from dvcreators.

I know what you mean.
Here's a story about the importance of having training materials available. Back in the mid 90s there weren't a lot of choices for creating 3D on the Macintosh. As I recall there was something like 3 programs available for the Mac. So I purchased a program called Strata Studio Pro. Which seemed to be the most popular at the time. Later I discovered there were virtually NO training materials available. There was ONE book and a magazine that Strata put out. And that was it. Nothing else.
Seeing how I couldn't learn it in my spare time, I just gave up on that program and purchased Lightwave instead. Lightwave was available on the PC for years before it got ported over to the Mac. So there were plenty of books available. Since then Strata just sorta' faded away. Nobody talks about it. Nobody uses it. You don't see it advertised anywhere. And although they're still in business, at one time they could've dominated the Mac market, instead they went nowhere.
So I hope Apple can see the importance of having training materials available and does everything they can to promote Motion's use. Because I'd hate to have purchased another Strata Studio Pro.

Training resources

Are there any video based tutorials with accompanying video files that can be used to learn iMovie?
Thanks.

Youtube has a million tutorial videos for imovies. Most are very repetative though

Training resources for iPhoto

Best CS4 online training

Hi everyone,
I am new to CS4 but have just purchased photoshop, dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc...because I want to create a website from scratch.
I have built websites before using front-end applications but have never had full access to the source code on my PC.
I have quite a bit of HTML knowledge, but I am an absolute beginner at CS4 products.
I have used some of the training videos on this website but I find they aren't quite enough for an absolute beginner; there are missing pieces and I find it hard to put it all together given my limited knowledge.
Can anybody recommend good online training resources for beginners? I have looked at www.linda.com but I'm not sure how much better it would be to pay $375.00 per year for access to the training videos when many of the same vidoes are available on the adobe website free.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations
thanks

I have yet to be impressed with any one training program that does it all. Photoshop and Illustrator are sophisticated graphics apps. Dreamewaver is a sophisticated Web authoring tool. That said, if you have a good knowledge of HTML and CSS and how these two things work together in the various browser, you are 75% ahead on the "DW learning curve." There are many on-line tutorials to help you. A Google search for tutorials in PhotoShop and Illustrator will reveal many sites.
Don't bite off more than you can chew at a time. Focus on one application. When that starts to gel, move on to the others. Following are links to web-related sites that you should reference and bookmark.

DVD Training for FCP 5.0, which one???

Hello everyone,
Could someone give me some suggestions about training in DVD format for FCP 5.0? I am a beginner to FCP and I would like to know how basic stuff works... At the moment, I have 3 choices from DigitalMediaTraining (DMTS), RippleTraining and Total Training (www.totaltraining.com) but I am confused since their offers may be too high (or too low ;)) to me...So please, give me some hints for this. Which one you like to best?
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Kind regards,
James

Run the tutorials and be prepared to be frustrated and confused. it's a big application.
Play with a few simple projects.
Then you MUST do the tutorials again. They will make much more sense the second time because you now know where the menus are and understand of the basic interface language.
Look at your budget. Decide what you want to spend and what you want to learn. The APTS books are great and come with several interesting and challenging editing tasks. The second volume for FCP5, "Advanced Editing Techniques", just hit the shelves. It's fabulous but it's all about the craft of editing. It's not about how to run the application. So if you're making films and never went to school, that's the book you want.
If you want to learn the application, Brian Maffit's Total Training series is, without any doubt, the best way to do the job. I have all of the available training resources for FCP3 through 5. None are as well done nor as innovative and exploratory as Brian's set of disks.
