I've gotten a very fast start using Vue by using those AsileFX CD's to learn from. I have been pleased with them, and felt they were a good thing. The two aimed at beginners, Getting Started with Vue 5, and Whats New in Vue 6 are the best of them all. I had already begun to get the others by the time I watched them, all on my own, but those two were great just when I was most confused and needed help to ramp up to speed fast.

We all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
