Survival Guides

What you need to stay alive. And nothing else.

Ever wanted to learn an app but discovered you don’t have the spare 40 hours that the available training requires to get you up to speed? Then you’re the reason we came up with our Survival Guides. These guides focus on the core skills you need to become useful in an application. We’re not going to teach you everything there is to know about the app, but we teach you how to get the important things done, and provide a foundational understanding that will enable you to easily learn specific tools as you need them.  For instance…

Get a jump start on this powerful open source 2D animation software in under 20 minutes!
