I have a new friend, her name is Lynda.com. She is full of online training and tutorials, and she is going to help me advance my blogging skills beyond belief. As many of you know, I’m a sort of a new kid on the block of the blogosphere. I’ve learned my skill by trial and error. I’ve had no training in computer programs, other than getting some help from my brother, the computer engineer. I’ve got all the newest gadgets – Droid phone, laptop, my home computer, and my new DSLR camera, but do I know how to maximize their capabilities? NO! And since I’m a stay-at-home mom, I won’t be going out to the community college to learn the skills I want to possess.
Well, this is where my new friend Lynda.com comes in. I’ve only had a brief chance to explore the website, but from what I’ve seen, it will be my “go-to” place to learn all I need to know to operate all my gadgets effectively.
Lynda.com is an online classroom offering Online Software Training 24/7 to hone your creative and business skills, which may be similar to what is taught in a Microsoft Power BI training course. You get on-demand access to a vast video tutorial library. You can learn at your own pace, when and where you want – right in the comfort of your own home!
Once you subscribe, you’ll have access to the new courses added weekly, at no additional charge, because computer technology is constantly changing. Linux users may also find some helpful guides on sites like https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/use-nano-text-editor-commands/ that may help you optimize your user experience with this operating system.
The courses offered cover such topics as: 3D + animation, Photoshop CS6 Essential Training, Business Excel Training, Photoshop for Web Design, Foundations of Photography and Exposure.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, the designated family photographer, or a busy professional, there is something for you to learn on lynda.com! Have you always wanted to learn about lighting techniques to perfect your photography skills, learn those much needed iPad and iPhone tips and tricks, Facebook and Twitter basics or hone your Wordpress skills to take your website or blog to the next level? If so, lynda.com can help!
