And what would the tutorial post be, without the bonus link that you've come to expect. We've thrown this last one in for good measure (not to mention post consistency, but whatever). We once again thank all of you that made this series everything that it was, a mediocre, lacking experiment! Just kidding, we couldn't be prouder of our first series, and hope that you all took something away from it. So to wrap it all up, here are some tips for troubleshooting the program.

@ Shawn, thanks for those links. It wasn’t an oversight, there were some others that we would have liked to use, but we decided early on in the series, that we didn’t want to use any video tutorials for this series. But thank you again for dropping those in.
I think sticking to non-video tuts was a big mistake for such a moving visual medium.
videocopilot.net has the best free tutorials out there, and also maltaannon.com .
I’ll check out some of the ones above, but there are some essential basic skills which aren’t covered at all.
Great Tuts! Thanks :)
