The lecture was taken again by crazy man, Jason (minus the coffee in a jar this week!). As always a very interesting and entertaining lecture. The topic for this week according to our course outline was 'Cyber-Utopia' but I think it was more to do with learning how to use software.
The following instructions have been copied directly from Jason's notes.
Jason's all everything gigantic and super lecture on how to teach yourself software!
2. But then maybe what you think you want to do, is not exactly what you should be doing.
3. Ok.... so you've figured out you need to learn advanced software in a few days.
4. You can't learn software in a few days.
5. Begin by plaing. Make something. Anything.
6. Common features of all software packages.
7. You better save your work dammit. And save it five thousand million billion quadrillion times. Save as something else.
8. Try the help file.
9. Ok so the help section sucks.
10. Search it dammit. (Specific searches)
11. Join forums and ask the damn question. (check for forums with replies to other questions)
12. Don't fear tutorial books and video tutorials.
13. Don't take a course.
14. Remember, as soon as you learn that software, either a new package will come along or new version will be out.
15. It's all about content dammit.
So they were Jason's words of wisdom on that subject!
And some other wise words...
