AutoCAD 2010: Mastering 2D Concepts Training Video

This just in: a solid new AutoCAD 2010 Mastering 2D Concepts Training Video that you can watch online or buy on CD / DVD. Taught by Autodesk Approved Instructor (AAI) Shaun Bryant, it covers many of the new features included in the latest version but dedicates the bulk of the course to showing users how to use the software to master basic drawing, plotting and editing within the program interface. As every serious CAD project starts with drawing, this course is a smart, hands-on way to jump into the software.
While it’s extremely helpful for a beginner, the training incorporates the same modular approach that has been proven to work well in the past. Videos are split up by specific subjects, so more experienced users can skip around and review lessons in any order they want.

AutoCAD 2010: Better Work Through Better Communication

While it’s a well known workhorse for designers working one on one with their projects, AutoCAD has traditionally not performed as well as it should when it comes to collaboration. Finally, new features show that Autodesk engineers are taking steps in the right direction, helping users share drafts of their designs and receive feedback in new ways.

PDF Integration

One major item on wishlists for some time has been solid PDF support directly within AutoCAD. Finally, the calls have been answered. Export menus allow a variety of quality settings and advanced options, with the ability to export true-type fonts as text instead of graphics and image quality up to 600dpi for extremely precise renderings.
The new PDF support doesn’t stop at exporting, either. Users can now import PDF designs sent by others, with adjustments to show and hide layers and adjust the PDF layer transparency so that plans can be overlaid for tracing and comparison. Finally, it’s easy for users to share their diagrams and drafts in a compact and widely accessible file format.

DWG Format

The longstanding DWG file format has been updated to resolve common complaints and expand its range of capabilities. AutoCAD 2010 is fully backwards compatible, though, and can open older DWGs without a hitch. The format is practically an industry-recognized standard in and of itself, as it allows extremely complex creations to retain necessary information between different users and versions.

Advanced Rendering

Photorealistic imaging and effects means that what you design appears onscreen exactly as it will look once it reaches production. New and improved rendering technology allows clients and colleagues to see your ideas as they are meant to be seen and allows you to become more creative and effective in managing your own expectations.

With new access to collaborative possibilities, it’s all the more important that you understand the way AutoCAD works. The ability to easily share ideas and content with multiple people means it’s important that your project looks the way you want it to before you send it out, and this extensive 2D-focused training can give you the instruction you need to get your skills where they need to be.

This unique Microsoft Exchange 2007 Training Video series offers a fresh and much-needed introduction to the powerful email server software. Suitable for enterprise use as well as small businesses, Exchange has become a necessary part of many companies’ technology departments.
There’s no question about it: email gets business done. Nothing beats the ability to quickly send an important message to a customer or client in a matter of seconds, from one side of the world to another. When used correctly, an Exchange server can make the email experience even better. It offers a number of tools and settings to streamline the way your in-house messaging server works and open up new possibilities for communication.

Whether you’ve used other email server software in the past or you’re approaching Exchange as a beginner, these instructional videos break down even complex tasks into simple steps that you can follow. Watch the first three chapters on this Microsoft Exchange 2007 Tutorial Video for FREE.

Reasons to Go with Microsoft Exchange 2007

For this release, Microsoft has built upon many of Exchange’s past strengths and has also added new features and functionality that make it even more valuable in the modern business place:
• Improved backup features lower costs. The Local Continuous Replication software new to Exchange allows data redundancy and quick recovery options, minimizing the need to frequently back up to tape storage. Special support for use on server clusters also offers significant advantages in efficiency.
• Employees get constant access to email, calendars, voicemail and contacts. Inbox information can now be checked from remote laptops, web browsers, and mobile devices to get up-to-date on messages, tasks and helpful information. An informed worker is often a more productive one.
• New features protect your mailing systems from spam, viruses and outside attacks. Integrated solutions will stop malicious code and attacks before they have a chance to damage systems on your network. It’s also easier to use your own antivirus and antispam software in conjunction with Exchange.
• Experience a better web-based experience. Outlook Web Access 2007 gives users access to an online Outlook 2007-like interface for managing email (with attachments), contacts and calendar events from anywhere they can open an internet browser. The security has also been improved in this departments so IT can rest a little easier.
• A new command-line interface gives power users a more efficient way to work. Based on Windows Powershell, the new framework allows administrators to automate a number of common and tedious tasks with scripts. The graphical management tool has also been improved.

No matter your reasons for upgrading to Exchange 2007, you won’t get very far if you don’t have the knowledge to properly use it. These training videos offer a hassle-free way to learn the software.

PHP – AIR Training Video – Tutorial

Adobe AIR & PHP Training Video

This is an interesting Adobe AIR & PHP Development Training Video that offers an in-depth look at a development technology poised for the future of web-user interaction. The Adobe AIR platform strikes the necessary balance between the information and content capabilities of the web with the power and flexibility native, desktop-based programs have always had.
Drawn up by longtime PHP and AIR expert Richard Bates, this instructional tutorial video series isn’t just a glossy overview of Adobe AIR and some of it’s more superficial features. These tutorials get hands-on with the code, and give a thorough look at developing for AIR with both Adobe-provided tools and flexible open-source resources. Users will learn how to make desktop applications with the Adobe Flex Builder Integrated Development Environment (IDE), how to create data-rich web services with PHP and how to connect the AIR applications with the server-side code. Other topics that get attention are the AIR user interface controls, ActionScript 3, using MySQL databases for storing data, and using third-party APIs within your AIR projects. There’s really nothing else out there right now that compares to this method for learning to develop with AIR and PHP.

Adobe AIR: Great Possibilities for the Business Sector

Even though it’s a new technology, many companies including NASDAQ, eBay, and Yahoo! have already begun using the AIR platform to develop in-house and customer-focused applications. In the competition to get more information about your business into the viewing space of everyday internet users, gaining a presence on the desktop (especially one that is useful) can give you a serious advantage. With the ability to deploy on Windows, Mac and Linux computers, the possibilities are more open than ever.
Your customer will have a branded, steady connection to your company. While it’s probably not a good idea to hit them over the head with aggressive marketing strategies, subtle use of this relationship can build consumer confidence and help you long term.
Another benefit of going with AIR is that you can take advantage of your existing development staff and information infrastructures to create your AIR apps. The whole point of AIR is not reinventing the wheel. Both AIR and Flex have been designed to work in conjunction with existing web-based programming languages and with support for the databases and APIs you already use.
Adobe offers a streamlined release process for both public and internal AIR applications. Businesses developing in-house tools can deploy them using frameworks they already have in place, such as IBM Tivoli or Microsoft SMS, and Adobe makes it easy for widely released programs to be downloaded and updated online.
Whether you’re doing your development on PC or Mac, the training video has you covered. Special instructions for installing the necessary development tools are included for both, and the lessons themselves (online or on CD / DVD) will play on either operating system. It’s a smart training resource that helps bridge the gap between your existing development and the new possibilities the technology offers.

Microsoft Certified Application Specialist Training Video

Do you work in a position that makes heavy use of Microsoft Office and want acknowledgement of your professional competence? This MCAS Training Video series covers everything you need to know to prepare for the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist exams, with specific sections devoted to tests 77-600 through 77-605, covering Access 2007, Windows Vista, and other Microsoft Office 2007 programs including Powerpoint, Word, Outlook and Excel.
Designed as a practical preparation tool, the training video course starts at the beginning, outlining how MCAS certification works before moving into hands-on examples that teach you the techniques you need to know to pass.  Special sections are devoted to each specific software title, and videos are further divided based on the techniques being shown, so you can use the course as a quick and flexible reference or follow the lessons in order.
At nine and a half hours, the training addresses major points that help with overall productivity as well as detailed techniques that prepare you for the performance-based MCAS exams.  Although users who already have experience with the software will have an advantage (even Microsoft suggests users seeking their MCAS credit have 6 months to a year of experience), the course can also serve as a starting point for motivated professionals and also significantly lower the amount of time it takes to learn the software at hand.  Whether you’re using this course on its own or as one key part of a comprehensive preparation strategy, you will not be disappointed.

MCAS: Microsoft Access 2007

If you frequently use MS Access at work or if you want to make inroads into the field of user-focused database design, getting the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist credential for Access 2007 can be a relatively easy way to move your career forward.  As an extension of the Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) program before it, the MCAS title is an instantly recognizable way of telling employers and clients that you know how to use the program for a variety of tasks in a multi-user environment.
77-605 is the number for the Access Core Exam. As previously mentioned, the testing for the MCAS is performance-based, which means that the test essentially has no questions.  Instead, you are presented with specific tasks and challenges to solve.  How efficiently and effectively you accomplish the tasks determines your score.  The MCAS for Access is build around six subjects: Structuring a Database, Creating and Formatting Database Elements, Entering and Modifying Data, Creating and Modifying Queries, Presenting and Sharing Data, and Managing and Maintaining Databases.  There are specific tasks when each subject area, all built around the real world demands of business use.
As you can tell, it’s a serious test, and preparation is essential.  Our MCAS Training Video gives you an in-depth walkthrough of not only the Access test but those for other Office 2007 programs as well.  The use of practical, hands-on examples with included work files make our solution more useful and easy to use than any other resource available.

MOTU Digital Performer 6 Training Video

This multi-part MOTU Digital Performer 6 Training Video series is designed to give users a strong working knowledge of the powerful Mac audio sequencing software. Starting with the basics and covering advanced features and techniques in detail, even more experienced users can benefit from these visually based tutorials.

The course is perfect for beginners. Audio expert Sam McGuire provides a brief introduction to audio editing concepts, so first time users get a useful primer before they begin. The training then progresses gradually, first introducing the features and layout of the program’s redesigned user interface and discussing changes that MOTU has made. Users are then shown how to create a new project, and then learn how to bring their audio to life.

Because the training video lessons are divided by topic, it’s easy for more advanced users to skip around and use the videos as a quick reference. Every technique is shown in real time, with an active video feed of the program in use. The files used by the author are included, so the course is especially easy to follow.

The training videos are available online with the Apex Unlimited subscription or on CD / DVD as one convenient tutorial package.

Soundtracks and Scores Just the Way You Want Them

With all of the improvements introduced in version 6, there is no better program for composing scores for video, animation and film than Digital Performer.

One useful tool included with the program is the Find Tempo feature. When writing music to fit onscreen motion, it’s important that the score hits the right cue points. Digital Performer 6 allows you to set up a master list or import a cue sheet and then choose the type and degree of importance of each hit. Then the program analyzes the markers you’ve placed and recommends a tempo that will effectively match up with your cues.

Another big help for those who work directly with Digital Video is the incorporation of Firewire support. The DP6 Movie window will let you export your audio projects as a DV-format movie when paired with video and lets you output the movie over Firewire. This means that you can use a FireWire converter box or your DV Camera as a relay to a television or professional video monitor and see exactly how your soundtrack is going to fare onscreen.

These are just a couple of the powerful features packed into Digital Performer that set it apart. It also has new support for 23.976 and 30-drop frame rates and a full range of XML and compatibility enhancements for Apple’s Final Cut Pro that are unmatched.

This MOTU Digital Performer 6 Training Video includes a special section that shows users how to import and utilize video clips within the program. You’ll learn about streamers, punchers and flutters and find out more about the software’s integration with Final Cut. DP6 is a powerful tool capable of the most demanding professional audio work, and these instructional videos will help you learn how to use it.

QuarkXPress 8 Tutorial Video

This QuarkXPress 8 tutorial – training series will show you what you need to know to make better layouts in less time, whether you’re designing for print, digital documents, or the web.  The intuitive example-based instructional method will explain every major aspect of the Quark one step at a time, starting with the very basics and covering the application’s newest and most useful features.  Whether you’re just starting out using QuarkXPress or if you’ve had experience with desktop publishing software before, these modular video based lesson approach makes it easy to skip past tutorials for skills you already know and repeat those that require extra review.

Quark History

QuarkXPress was the hands down the most powerful and most popular tool for desktop publishing throughout the 1990s.  A staple product for printers, publishing houses, and design firms of all stripes, the program’s flexible support of fonts and its straightforward interface gained the software a near 90 percent market share.

Users gradually grew unhappy with the time it took Quark engineers to release significant upgrades and the high premium the company charged for its software.  After having its previous offering PageMaker trounced by QuarkXPress 4.1, Adobe designed a new solution from the ground up and launched rival product InDesign in 1999.  Quark made what has since been seen as a major misstep by failing to release a new version for the launch of Mac OS X, while Adobe had InDesign 2.0 ready in 2002 and brought out the first desktop publishing (DTP) tool for the new operating system.

This move by Adobe, combined with its subsequent combination of InDesign with graphics powerhouses Photoshop and Illustrator into the aggressively-priced Creative Suite, has all but eliminated the market position Quark once enjoyed.

Why It’s the Right Time for QuarkXPress

Turning a new page, Quark has come back with a slew of new features and lowered its prices to get back into the game.  Version 8 sees the program taking various features that came in previous incremental, optional upgrades and putting them into one powerful package, as well as introducing some new features to get designers’ attention.

Quark has first and foremost remodeled its user interface to fit the way today’s layout designers do their work.  Clearing the workspace of clutter by reducing the default number of tools on the screen by half, Quark made the interface more simplified without dumbing it down, because the tools it does have are given more functionality.  Support for drag-and-drop from Adobe’s Creative Suite and strong support for Photoshop and Illustrator files, advanced language and typography support, and the ability to export to HTML and Flash show Quark’s intent to deliver a compelling alternative to InDesign, both to reclaim users who have left and to hold onto the designers who never stopped using QuarkXPress.

The Right Training makes the differance

Of course, the powerful new features of QuarkXPress 8 are only as good as your ability to use them.  This QuarkXPress 8 tutorial video will show you everything you need to know to get the most out of your DTP projects.

FileMaker Server 10 Training Video

This unique FileMaker Server instructional video series breaks down the complex task of setting up and maintaining a free-standing server for FileMaker 10. Using the server-specific software combined with server-grade hardware allows you more performance, security, and reliability than running the regular client versions of FileMaker. If you’re managing large amounts of important data that many different machines need access to and you’re already using the cross-platform FileMaker framework, it’s a no-brainer.

In these videos, long-time FileMaker solutions developer and server-side database expert Wim Decorte draws from years of industry experience to break down the latest version of FileMaker Server into its most basic elements. With special video segments devoted specifically to explaining the program’s history and newest features, the course combines a proper understanding of the program with hands-on instruction in configuring and using the system on a day to day basis.

The training is divided into subject-specific video segments, making it easy for you to skip parts you’re familiar with or return to videos for review. Each lesson provides a real-time preview of the application in use, so that each technique presented appears on video exactly as it does on your own set-up. Special attention is specifically given to using command line functions and the remote access administration panel so that by the end of the training you’re familiar with multiple ways of controlling your database software.

FileMaker Server vs. FileMaker Pro

Many small businesses may be comfortable with just the client FileMaker product, but there are several important advantages to using a dedicated server. If you’re planning to expand the scope of your database-driven solutions or if you’re interested in getting the most performance and reliability from your system, these are some points to consider.

More concurrent users can connect to your databases and files at one time. Using FileMaker Pro, nine users can be connected at the same time, subject to the limits of your hardware. FileMaker Server supports 250 concurrent connections, and Server Advanced can handle 999.

FileMaker Server allows continuous access to your files, as well. To connect to a file using on the the client version, the hosting client must have FileMaker open and running on their machine, with the specific file open as well. FileMaker Server is designed to run in the background, however, and requires no extra effort on the part of a host. And when users are connected to your database, Server allows you to see who is currently accessing the files in its administration console, so you won’t accidentally disconnect someone in the middle of important work.

FileMaker Server 10 also features many enhancements geared specifically toward security and performance. Your specific business needs may very, but if you want and need the very top level of performance out of your FileMaker database solutions the answer is clear. The robust feature set of FileMaker Server combined with the professional training provided in these expert videos will give you everything you need for the best results.

Beginner FileMaker Pro 10 Training Video

This expert-designed Beginner FileMaker Pro 10 Training Video series will introduce you to the newest and best features the program has to offer and help you build and maintain database and invoicing solutions that fit your professional needs.  Introductory videos will guide you through the program one step at a time in an examples-based, fundamentals-first training approach that ensures you progress through the course with confidence as you gradually build your skills.

Longtime script designer and certified FileMaker instructor John Mark Osborne breaks down the program’s basic usage into a series of short example-based instructional segments that are engaging and easy to understand.  Incorporated into each lesson is a live video feed of the application in use, so you can learn by being directly shown.  This visual method of instruction makes even advanced skills easier to learn and increases retention. 

Another advantage of the video training format is its convenience.  Because the lessons are divided into shorter segments based on specific content, it’s easy to skip past videos on subjects you may already know about or review lessons that require a second look.  Full-featured controls within each video allow you to pause, rewind, and fast-forward as you desire, effectively allowing you to learn at your own pace.

FileMaker Pro 10 Advantage: Getting Started Quickly

In addition to other improvements, the engineers behind FileMaker have made the program better than ever at helping you get your first database solution off the ground.  The program offers an impressive set of pre-configured solutions and templates and features flexible import options for leveraging the data you already have on your computer.

 Through the program’s “See it, Use it, Learn it” menu system, you can import data from such common documents as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, text files, and basic databases made in Bento.  In fact, when importing data from Excel, you can use drag-and-drop functionality to place fields and objects where you’d like.  Exporting back to Excel is even easier with the new “Excel Maker” tool.  Older FileMaker files dating back to version 7 are also seamless to work with, making the upgrade to 10 as painless as possible.

In addition, 30 common customizable database templates are included as Starter Solutions for new users.  Whether you’re managing people, projects, or assets, there are ready-to-use database set-ups for Personnel Records, Time Cards, Student Records, Event Management, Research Notes, Recipes, and many more popular tasks.

Although quite helpful, these out-of-the-box solutions won’t work perfectly for every situation. Having a proper understanding of the way FileMaker works makes designing your own solutions relatively easy.  The powerful training included in this instructional video series not only shows you how to design your own database and frameworks but also how to modify what you have to make it work for you.  FileMaker Pro 10 is an extremely capable program, but it’s only as powerful as your ability to use it.

This Anime Studio Pro 5 training course will show you what you need to know to get the most out of this versatile and affordable vector animation solution.  Anime Studio comes with many advanced and useful features that are typically found only in design programs that cost twice the price, and its intuitive user interface and bone-based animation approach will have you producing top-quality animations in less time.
This innovative video series uses a back-to-basics, step-by-step approach, helping you master the application’s most basic design elements before teaching you how to use more advanced features to give your work a professional touch.  An interactive real-time video feed of the application in use allows you to learn each technique by being directly shown, not just told.  Everything in the program workspace appears on screen exactly as it does on your computer, so you don’t have to guess whether you’re doing the right thing based on vague descriptions.  This method allows you to learn more naturally, and in less time.

Serious Possibilities with Anime Studio Pro
Although its title may bring to mind Japanese-style cartoons, this program can be used for so much more.  Because of its ease of use, it’s often thought of as just a great tool for beginners and animation hobbyists, but it also has applications in professional design workflows.  Mike Clifton, the software engineer who almost single-handedly built the software from scratch, has made sure that his program plays nice with other industry-leading design programs so that it fits right in a professional’s arsenal.
The program’s user interface is unique to the application but similar enough that experienced designers should have no problem getting to work.  Anyone who has worked with Premiere, Toon Boom, or 3DS Max will find the layout and tools familiar and intuitive.  Getting started with a program has never been easier.
Import many major file formats.  Anime Studio Pro 5 will let you import and work with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files, and lets you turn JPEG, Targa, GIF, BMP and EPS images into animated reality with bone-tool overlays.  The program is smart enough to recognize the layers and effects you’ve spent so much time on.
There’s an array of solid options for exporting your creations, too.  AVI, Quicktime, and Flash SWF are all acceptable formats for moving your work to the next step of processing or publishing your completed animations across the internet.
Right out of the box, Anime Studio Pro 5 beats all competition in its price range and gives more expensive programs a run for their money.  Extensible scripting features make the potential for the application even greater.
As with any other serious tool, the program is only as powerful as your ability to use it.  This training video series will make sure that you’ll spend less time tinkering within application menus to find hidden features and more time making great content instead.
