I'm checking out the free lectures on this video to get an idea of what is possible in the area of 3D rendering these days on a normal PC.

Good basics for Access VBA skills.

This videos gives you the basics of Adobe's new language for Flash and Flex. It is MUCH different from ActionScript 2.0, is much more object orientated and melds with different technologies (Flex, Apollo, etc.) Interesting though that this movie does not even mention MXML and all his examples in flex simply output data into the debug windoe not really showing you the basis of creating applications in Flex, but only using the ActionScript language which is only a part of flex application development.

I'm watching the free lectures from this video just to get an idea what After Effects can do. ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AFTER EFFECTS AND FLASH: After Effects is not a web program. It is a motion graphics program intended for many applications including video special effects, and advanced motion titling. It however doesn't allow any kind of web html encoding etc. or butons which is the heart and soul of web site production. Flash will allow you to layout your site and make it jump with various animations and oher media you specify. After effects however will generate a SWF that you could import into a FLASH site if a short intro movie if and when you need that but that technique is fairly advanced to make realistic and functional. If you want a compact interactive website that uses graphics in animated ways, Flash is the natural tool to use. If you want a presentation-only thing that will use cinematic type effects, you might use (among many other options) After Effects.

If you want to get up on the front of where Adobe is going with the Macromedia stuff they bought, watch this free online series (about 1 hour of videos), these videos just create a very simple application and at the end you export it, then have to install it and it runs, but the operating system needs to have the Apollo runtime (like java runtime or dotnet framework).

Nice basics, some of the videos at the end say "unfortunately this only works in Firefox" which is a bit disappointing but they otherwise discuss cross browser issues thorougly, a good basis.

woman speaker has a beautiful voice, this video goes WAY beyond the basics e.g. talks about design choices, uses Macromedia Fireworks to make some graphics, discusses hard design decisions (use the whole picture, trim it, etc.) while always bring these back to CSS by designing as she goes. Also, if German is your second language, this is an excellent video to absorb vocabulary and phrases which describe colors, design, design choices, etc. If you still can't seem to get over the reality of not using TABLES in your design and are serious about CSS, get this video and reserve lots of time to absorb it.

Fireworks and Dreamweaver were a nice duo until Adobe bought Macromedia and Photoshop moved in. Now Fireworks is the odd man out. Its advantage is that it is purely a WEB graphics editor and if you still know the concepts from Fireworks 3 or so, Fireworks CS has the basics you'll remember and a lot of extras.

In this video you learn the basics of the latest Photoshop which is integrated in with the other Adobe/Macromedia products now such as Flash and Dreamweaver. The trainer goes VERY fast and naturally uses tools which you haven't learned yet but that he needs to show you things, i.e. does not hide the complexity that photoshop has grown to, the first videos show lots of general tips that are useful (look for arrow buttons), there is a LOT in this lecture, many videos you'll have to watch more than once to let it soak in.

If you are new to PHP and programming, this is a good video to get started with.
