Topics Offered
To view a full listing of tutorial topics offered, visit the lynda.com homepage where you can browse topics by subject, product, vendor, and author.
Tutorial Length
The combined length of a full set of tutorials varies widely depending on the topic. A topic's set of tutorials is broken down into bite size chunks that average 5 minutes in length. Each segment is specific to a particular technique within the topic and is very well named so it's easy for you to choose which videos to watch - or which to skip.
Tutorial Format
Informational segments consist of the author speaking and/or bulleted slides to highlight the points mentioned. Tutorial segments will show the author's computer screen along with narration of what's being done and why. Exercise files, identical to the ones being used in the videos are available for download so you can work along with the tutorial.
