Creature teacher
I found Ryan Kittleson's course on creature creation so helpful. The pace of the lessons along with the explanations were great. The section on UV creation was excellent. This is exactly why I am a lynda.com member. Outstanding!

Saved us time and resources
Mr. Allardice is really great at explaining the SharePoint concepts and weeding through the SharePoint "forest" to get to the key things that are needed most. Mr. Allardice is a very gifted teacher and I hope you will continue to utilize him as one of your training resources. I am fortunate that my leadership actually purchased the DVD so that I can review it over and over again because this is a very valuable resource. It was very high quality and saved our company a lot of time and resources.

Renewed my creativity
The site has given me an amazing renewal of long lost inspiration. I feel I have my creativity back for the first time in many, many years. I regained all my hope and positivity that I had had most of my life for my work but lost for some years. This is no small thing! I can't thank you all enough. Thank you, thank you!

Always wanted to learn it
I am absolutely hooked on Lynda online courses. I can't get enough. I've completed courses on PowerPoint 2007 and XHTML, and I'm currently taking several other courses. I find it to be very effective training and I've learned a lot of things that I always wanted to learn, but never found trudging through a book to be very appealing or effective. I just don't have the time to learn that way. I also learn most effectively through "seeing" and "doing" and lynda.com lets me do that. The movies are very well done. Very professional. Great site! Thanks!

Feeding the passion
Just a quick line to say your tutorials are superb. Easy to understand, entertaining and really help feed the passion. Many thanks and keep up the fantastic work.

Made it so easy
I love this Dr. Taz Tally. He is making digital prepress easier for me to understand. I am old school and already challenged and thought I was going to not pass my class in prepress. But he has made it so easy to understand with his samples and his explanations.

No more confusion
Thank you for publishing this course! I tried to learn Captivate as part of an online diploma and was left confused and frustrated, but after working my way through James Lockman's course over the last two-and-a-half days, I'm confident that I can now tackle my assignment. Thanks again!

Like going to class
Thank you so much for your web site. Because of your lessons, I can go to “class” every night to learn the new programs that are needed for my work and my other projects. Through this web site, you are serving many who need software classes, but are not near a school.

Life saver
I have to tell you that stumbling upon your site has become an incredible find! Just 2 months ago I became unemployed and knew I needed to spend money to get myself to the "next" level in helping myself along the next path I should follow. I have very limited money but this $25 was the BEST I could have ever spent! I have spent hours relearning things I had forgotten and solidified my confidence in what I do know. The classes are fabulous!! Your site needs to be shouted from the highest mountaintop as a HUGE resource. There is so much to glean from your site and I am blessed to have found you. (You simply might have saved my life—and I mean that most sincerely.)

Easy to understand
I wanted to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation for the hard work and dedication that your team provides for online education. The education content is so easy to understand and learn. As I am a programmer, I always refer to your software training content to start with. Your Java tutorial was awesome and I’m looking forward to J2EE tutorials as well.

My secret weapon
You are my secret weapon—with the exception that I tell everyone I know about your service. I've even gifted a few subscriptions to those in need of a push. :)
With all these challenges in the economy, this is a quick way to expand your capabilities and get into new areas. It's a no-brainer!

The real joy of education
A big thank you to everyone at lynda.com for providing these fantastic courses and services. You are all making a positive contribution to the world, and through your company I am experiencing the real joy of education. It is very evident to me how selective and precise lynda.com is in the people it hires—and it is incredibly motivating to see the passion of the teachers in each course. All the courses I have been through have had a very positive impact on my education. I thank you all for that.
P.S. Never allow Simon Allardice to leave!

Way to go on gift-giving
Way to go on the “give lynda” option! I didn't want to do a whole password and account thing for my girlfriend's Christmas present. You came up with an easy form, so I can purchase it for her. Brilliant. I'm impressed. I went to an early seminar of Lynda's 10 years ago. I have always been a fan of her articulate brilliance. Thanks, Lynda, for the inspiration.

Feedback is spectacular!
Just wanted to toss you guys a line to let you know how well the training videos have been working for our new user subgroup. We're at about 59 percent of Garrick Chow's Computer Literacy for the Mac and the feedback we’re getting is spectacular! I'm noticing an improvement in attendance at our meetings and an increase in meeting participation as a result, too. Thanks from everybody here.

Applied skills immediately
A friend of mine, who's a programmer, told me about your site earlier this year when I asked him if he knew any good places to find tutorials about web development. And I've been a big fan ever since! Your tutorials have helped me develop new skills and apply them immediately to my work. I'm with a non-profit specializing in applying GIS to public health. Within weeks of starting your tutorials about Flex, Flash Builder, and Action Script we began to develop web-based GIS applications. I like your site so much I've gifted my dad a subscription for Christmas! Keep up the good work!

Simply brilliant
It's simple, really. Lynda.com is brilliant. Enough said. :)

Doesn’t get any better
You are awesome! I so love lynda.com. It just gets better every day. I am an old-school print graphic designer and now learning the essentials of web design. And now you have food photography? It doesn't get any better than that. I now do freelance graphic design for a restaurant and am asked to do their food shots. The timing is so perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Whole new world
My mother is 53. She's an interior designer. For many years she had a team of people who did the sketches and 3D renderings for her. But she always wanted to do it by herself, and keep her business leaner. She checked out many professional courses in design schools, but none suited her 100 percent. Then I introduced her to lynda.com. She signed up and now she takes an online course in Revit at home. She loves it. It opened her to a whole new world of possibilities where you can just sit and get the info into your brain and fingers. You can ask the instructor to repeat what he just said seven times. And she gets to practice at home using the exercise files. She loves it so much. Thank you.

Progress bars appreciated
I like the new progress bars for the tutorial history page.

Unbelievably convenient
I am truly glad that the feedback display came up while I was on the lynda.com site. Now that I have figured out how to successfully navigate the site to find out how to locate what I want, I have decided that this is some of the best training time and money I've ever spent. The convenience is unbelievable. I am in the process of trying to complete a personal project while also trying to learn the software at the same time. Thank you lynda.com for a training site that is so very thorough, detailed and well stocked with the best training titles that anyone could want.

Preferred learning style
I have recently joined lynda.com and just wanted to say I love it. The tutorials are so clear, precise and extremely professional. This is definitely my preferred learning style. It makes learning a pleasure. I would like to thank everyone concerned. Thank you once again.

Thanks for transcripts
Before I get started with my day, I wanted to share with you my appreciation for the inclusion of transcripts in the training materials! I've belonged to lynda.com for years and been very happy with my training, but since having meningitis and a stroke, retaining what I hear has been difficult. However, with the addition of being able to read along, I am retaining as before. Thank you so much!

This educator says you rock
Have been a lynda.com client for some time and really appreciate all the help I've gotten from you guys. I'm a professor in Memphis. I lecture, among a variety of other projects. As a fellow educator, you guys rock.

Made the impossible possible
I have looked all over the internet for stuff like this without any luck. I am writing to you to let you know I like the tutorial. It actually helped me a lot. Now Joomla! development isn't a pain any longer. It is impossible to find documentation for Joomla!. Figuring out how to place session data into a form was impossible. With my new knowledge it is not. Good luck with your good work.

Happy to see new titles
Thanks so much for continuing to offer new titles about digital audio. I am also enjoying your training for SharePoint. You guys are great!

Well done, Lynda
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy Deke as a presenter. His enthusiasm and knowledge is truly second to none. Well done, Lynda, on a fantastic site.

Would recommend highly
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy lynda.com. I think that the videos and format are easy to use and well structured. While your courses don't exactly replace live instruction by an expert on the subject, they do provide great introductory and fundamental knowledge of the topics. I would recommend lynda.com highly to anyone in a number of circumstances from business to leisure. I think the future of how we become educated will be changing dramatically in the years to come, and lynda.com is an example of how the Internet can facilitate access to a huge variety of useful information to anyone daring enough to log on, log in, and check out.

Derrick Story is masterful
I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the quality of the last two training guides I used. I most recently finished the Aperture 3 guide with Derrick Story. Before that I used the iMovie ‘09 Essential Training DVD. Both accomplished my goal of learning these applications in a most simplified yet thorough method. Derrick Story was particularly articulate and masterful in presenting the material in a logical and easily understood manner. I have recommended these guides to many of my friends and they too have expressed similar sentiments. Keep up the good work and I look forward to my next purchase.

Changed the way I learn
Sitting in a classroom, trying to keep up with the instructor, trying to see what she/he is doing, trying to hear what she/he is saying, and trying not to get side-tracked is the worst way for me to learn. lynda.com changed the way I learn. I love it. I love the variety, the instructors, the content and the pace. I love the pace! Because it is my pace. I tell everyone I meet about lynda.com. Whether they follow through is up to them. But I know I have my own personal instructor when I log onto lynda.com. I can't thank you enough.
