The unexpected bonus
Simply adding to what so many others have said in their own testimonials. Tonight I watched The lynda.com Story. I had naively thought Lynda was like Betty Crocker. To hear both her and Bruce speak has been inspirational. And then to learn that they are married! Wow, what a great life! Their inspiration has been the unexpected bonus to all that lynda.com offers. Aloha!

First lesson alone makes it worth joining
[Paul Trani is an] excellent instructor—easy to follow, fully covers everything a beginner can understand. Catches the imagination and shows you where to go and how to use widgets. Love the advice on the other instructors' courses to visit. This first lesson alone is worth joining lynda.com. Thank you again.

Here I go!
I really like the online training that I've been taking in. You guys have done a great job at explaining. I've picked up several tips and had questions answered that have been hanging around me for a while. Thanks! I've got more to take in. Here I go!

I owe you my life
In my short journey through the design, advertising, and now digital creative industry, I have to say that the watershed moment for me was coming across a free lynda.com tutorial from Chris Orwig in a computer arts magazine. It opened my eyes. Coming from Kenya, there are very (few) creative learning institutions here and learning material is really, really hard to find. And then I came across lynda.com. I can’t always afford to buy the material because I have to buy it from the States. Our internet connections have not always been good enough for online learning. (I think that's about to change with fiber optic finally coming to my country) What I can get has been amazing in lifting my career. So I want to say thank you. Thank you very, very much. I literally owe you my life.

Amazing
lynda.com is amazing. I have learned so much from the free trial already. I knew that I had to continue learning from, and supporting, this awesome business and service. Thanks.

I look like a goddess
I have to take a moment and say Thank You. Seriously. Thank You. lynda.com has enabled me to learn so many new tips and tricks for the software I'm using in my work. I am able to work faster, more efficiently, and look like a goddess to my supervisor because of your training videos. And that's just in the work I currently perform. I could wax poetic all week long thanking you for the videos that have helped me expand my software knowledge, enabled me to discover a new hobby, and inspired me to find my passions after seeing and hearing people talk about their own. lynda.com. Is. Awesome.

It's inspiring
I attended three courses in Ojai in 1999-2000, and have followed your growth since then. I've relied on many of your books and online resources over the years to stay up to date. Recently, I especially appreciated viewing The lynda.com Story for sharing a deeply personal side of your professional development. Behind the anonymous and ambiguous world that we hitch our lives to, there are personal stories. Lynda is a great educator and business person for her willingness to reveal who she is, rather than simply what she does. The extra effort makes all the difference. Moreover, having a child with difficulties in high school, it is inspiring to hear about obstacles turned into victory.

Superb educational site
I am writing this letter to thank the lynda.com group. This is a superb educational site. Being new to the Mac, I have learned how to use it. I am pleased to share with you that I have created an educational DVD, along with my group, which was selected for the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Audio-Visual Award this year. Thanks a lot.

Good investment
I wanted to say I just went through the Joomla! Essential Training course and it was great. Buying this subscription was a good investment.

Brilliant concept
Just stumbled upon the site. Concept is brilliant.

Laid out well for a beginner
I am a relative beginner at photo editing, and am totally new to Photoshop Elements. Just wanted to say that I am loving Jan Kabili's course. It is extremely clear and is laid out well for a beginner. I feel like I am quickly getting a handle on beginning to use a fairly complicated (for me) software program. Thank you so much!!

Resonates with me
I am an art teacher currently learning Adobe Photoshop and InDesign with the help of lynda.com and a lot of books. I taught public school for 25 years and for the past 11 years have had my own studio. I love teaching! I love inspiring young people to think of new ways to look at things and new ways to do things. I love teaching art with the proper tools and materials, showing students how to use their tools and materials and how to take care of them.
Enough about me. Your philosophy and how you approach your business just resonates with me. I too have had a few false starts and I consider those false starts my MBA. My business is thriving despite the difficult economic times. One area of my business has been taking children's artwork and creating (mostly Christmas) cards using a scanner, computer, and printer. It is a portion of my business that has grown exponentially over the years, starting with two children. This past year I produced nearly 1,000 cards. My mission, now that I am approaching my senior years, is to segue into a high quality stationery business using Adobe software. I plan to continue to focus on children's artwork as the major component. There is nothing on the market precisely like what I have in mind. To me this means that either I have a real opportunity to be a niche market or else it's a really bad idea. We'll find out soon enough. I'll be spending the summer learning the software. I want to thank you for The lynda.com Story. It is very inspiring.

Can't believe my good fortune!
Since the first incarnation of Designing Web Graphics I've been a huge fan. I always wanted to come to California for a class but could never afford it. A few months ago I bit the bullet and purchased my own copy of CS4... imagine my delight when, as thanks, Adobe granted me a free month to play and learn at lynda.com. I'm now a subscriber and can't believe my good fortune at being able to learn so much for so little. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You take your clients seriously
I find myself in a moment of compelling desire to tell you how much you are appreciated. I am a one-woman band, producing videos for small and medium businesses. I don't have time to register for all-day classes. I like to take a free moment at a time and learn a bit at a time. Your training services allow me to do that. As a mater of fact, your training services allow me to keep ahead of my competition. Not only do I learn the latest versions of software before they get released, but I also learn latest trends and techniques in the industry from your amazing instructors. I love your documentaries and Creative Inspirations videos. With lynda.com, I've learned far more than I could have ever expected. Most importantly, I love that you take your clients requests seriously. I've submitted requests in the past and found months later that the new features I requested are now available. Cool! Really! Keep up the amazing work. I cannot run my business as successfully as I do without you.

Truly an icon
Loved the series. I listened, viewed, and learned from the Douglas Kirkland: Creative Inspirations. He is truly one of the icons of photography. Thanks to the folks who put this work together.

I am so grateful.
I just want to say that I have learned more from watching and following the tutorials with Jan Kabili than I have from my Photoshop teacher. I am earning an AS in Web Design. I am so grateful that I found lynda.com. I was able to get an A in my Photoshop class thanks to Jan! I have told many people about your site and plan to keep my subscription throughout my school career and maybe even beyond that. Thank you very much!

Keep up the great work!
I just wanted to thank you for actually listening to my feedback. I submitted suggestions on possible videos a few months ago, and since then, almost all of my ideas have been made into courses. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I still appreciate that you are all working hard to constantly develop new courses and create helpful resources for artists and tech nerds alike. I love your site, especially now that I can view videos on my iPhone! Keep up the great work!

Good job!
I still remember in the early '90s when this guy popped into my cubical and told me about the cool things you could do with the Internet, besides email and FTP. He mentioned some new-fangled software called a "browser." I've been coding since then. I was part way through the Dreamweaver/CS4 course when Web Design Fundamentals was announced. I said to myself that I knew all that stuff, but paused the Dreamweaver course and watched all the Fundamental movies and took a page of notes using Notepad. Thanks, good job!

Loving the new Bookmark feature
You have just made lynda.com an even better educational resource. I watched the Bookmarks intro video. You got it exactly right. Now, I want to go back and start marking all those places I wish I could have in the past. Oh well, the future starts now.

Awesome.
I just finished watching Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS4, and it was awesome. It was very fulfilling with important info that I needed. Thanks!

Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS4
Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS4 was just what I was looking for... I wish I had found it months ago!

Learning more than I could have imagined
I am thoroughly impressed with lynda.com. Excellent business concept. I love the absolute step-by-step approach. I'm learning more than I could have imagined. You now have a true believer on your side. My compliments to your company and staff.

What a relief!
I just wanted to say thank you for your help. I am a new member using my free trial from Adobe (I'm new to Macs and all this software). It is a great relief to know that you are there to help in a timely and courteous manner. It can be overwhelming working alone trying to forage a new career. I will definitely be a customer after my free trial runs out! Best regards,
|
Great service
This is a great service and I will use it again.

Paul Trani and Flash

Many thanks to Lynda and Bruce
I watched the video your staff made for you, and it brought a lump to my throat. Through lynda.com, I have learned website design from scratch, enabling me to begin the journey of working from home. Thank you for everything!
|
I rely on your training.
Thank you! Can't emphasize enough how much I rely on your training, and appreciate the high quality of every course I've viewed. If it weren't for my tight financial situation, I would purchase a Premium Membership without hesitation. Thanks again.

Your site is amazing!
Just wanted to say thank you for the free month, Christmas card, and that your site is amazing!!!!

Subject comes alive
Just sending my thoughts about Derrick Story's photography tips videos. I found the three episodes on lighting to be excellent and very helpful. Derrick is an excellent instructor (I have also viewed his Aperture 2.0 series). He makes the subject come alive and holds my attention. Anyway, getting back to the photo tips, I sincerely hope there will be more of Derrick's helpful videos in the series.

Your site is truly a jewel
What can I say? Your site is truly a jewel. Great information, great instructors, great price. I am very happy I found you!
