LARRY'S NOTE

I am frequently asked whether these tutorials duplicate my existing training -- especially my tutorials on Lynda.com. First, it would not be fair to Lynda to duplicate work I've done for her. So I try hard to avoid doing so. While there is some duplication between my newsletter articles and these tutorials, I try to make these video tutorials both timely and unique. Tutorials marked with a single asterisk ( * ) contain mostly new or revised material. Tutorials marked with a double-asterisk ( ** ) contain material that is not available from me anywhere else.
