lynda.com just saved my computer from me wanting to smash it to bits. Or at least the Adobe software inside. If you're familiar with the Adobe programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., but were never formally trained in how they function, you know how insanely non-user-friendly they can be. I was, and am, in need of proficiency in these programs, and I finally just dove into a monthly membership on the site.

I'm studying InDesign right now (from three versions ago, even), and actually look forward to each session because I know it will clear everything up just a little bit more. The instructor for my tutorial is incredibly thorough in his descriptions and if I miss something, I can just back it up and hear it again.

Lynda.com awesomely offers a sneak peek at tutorials, allowing you to go through a good amount of lessons for free before you commit. Once you have a membership, which you can cancel anytime, you have unlimited access to every tutorial for every computer program and version imaginable. If you have been wanting more training in Adobe or anything else for that matter, lynda.com is amazing and amazingly affordable, considering how much you might pay for training elsewhere.
