I have edited most posts for proper classifications, changed themes and added new security for this blog. It has been quite some time since I have posted anything about my projects but getting this site back up and running proper was important as well. With the site working proper it is time to get back to Udemy and the Unity game creation course I am taking.
Getting this blog back up and running proper was possible in most part to the course ‘WordPress Essential Training’ at Lynda.com.
I am presently taking the course in Lynda.com called WordPress Essentials. I this time I am 50% through this course, taking my time at the same time organizing and updating this site. Bare with me during this process, I should be done this week. Frankly the organization side is taking the most time.
I received an offer for 30 days free for Lynda.com. If you have not heard of it this site is filled with informational videos, tutorials etc. on a very large number of topics. I elected to try it out and added training videos for Unity3D, Adobe After Effects, Blender, Visual Studio and C# programming along with others I can’t think of right now. The thirty days has come and gone and I’ll tell you, the quality of the tutorials and exercise files is quite good and I signed up for a monthly membership. I want to at least get through the play lists I have set up and then make up my mind on how much longer I will continue the monthly membership. I have quite a few to go but I have completed the following all of which were very good.
Up and Running with C#
C# Essential Training
Foundation of Programming Fundamentals
Visual Studio 2012 Essential Training
Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Store Developers
Windows 10 New Features
Rigging a Human Character in Blender
I also signed up for Udemy.com which is much the same as Lynda.com. The membership to this site is free and you pay for the content you want as you go and have unlimited access to the material. Now the content on their website is quite expensive with most of the ones I am interested in running around 99.00 USD each. I have seen them as low as 29.00USD and has high as 199.00USD but what attracted me to the site was a statement I read that said most of the courses are less expensive if you purchase them through the app rather than the website. This I found was exactly correct as the courses I wanted ran about 99.00USD and the app had them for sale for 9.99USD so I signed up.
Another site I frequent is CGCookie.com. This site has monthly, quarterly and annual membership plans for their content as well as a free membership allowing access to many free learning opportunities released throughout the year. I have been a paying member for the last few years and even though the rates go up once in a while the price is well worth the content, both video and course file downloads.
I highly recommend all of these quality learning sites.
I never regret signing up and paying for any opportunity to learn something new or expand on any knowledge I currently have.
