grins I, too, but books more than anything else to expand my learning... The classes were "required" for voc rehab as part of my "plan". I think they really wanted to see what I actually knew how to do in Photoshop - and as they had bought the creative suite 4 for me, they wanted to make sure I could USE it lol. InDesign class (and the UVMapper 6 week course) were the only two where I didn't have much, if any, prior knowledge going in. In both the photoshop & InDesign classes, I ended up helping the professor with the students who were struggling. I still have trouble with vectors, but they no longer fill me with fear lol. After those classes, they purchased the entire series of Adobe's Classroom in a Book to match the software that came in the CS bundle. I've been slowly (very slowly) working my way through those. It didn't help that I accidentally left the entire series in storage at my parents this past summer... But, next weekend, we'll be getting them along with all the other stuff we had to leave there (my vue book, my poser book, books on lighting, etc lol). One of my favorite books I found just before we left alaska and bought - 100% Photoshop - ended up getting so damaged last summer I have to replace it :( - note to self, don't let daughter near my books when I'm working through them with a tall glass of grape juice.... I dunno how she did it, but 90% of the pages are stuck together or illegible. Quite depressing, but I will get it replaced lol. What's your current favorite (educational) book?
