Xara Designer Pro education course learning and training resource

I've viewed just one segment and learnt stuff already - seriously, I'll have to go back and watch from the start again. There's so much detail in there I just can't believe it. Your commentary is very professional too, you had to have written scripts and practised the delivery. I'll bet there were many hours of video editing involved as well. All I can say is Congratulations and Thanks for this fantastic resource. Very professional!

Thanks. I've added permutations of that search criteria to the keywords of all videos; hopefully search hits will improve.

No scripts; just a succinct plan then improvised delivery, similar to giving a presentation/public speaking or something. The out-takes are 18-rated unfortunately...
And yes it took hundreds of hours of work over a year to create this for everyone. >.<
Thanks

I am new to this program, and never had the version 10, so i have no idea how similar your tutorials are.
Would you estimate a percentage of how much of it would be applicable to version 11
Thanks

100% now

What a fantastic resource thank you so much!

I have been a user of Xara for over 2 years now and have learned ways of achieving results that are probably not as good as they could be and definitely take longer than they should!

I am going to discipline myself and work through your course from the beginning, the only problem I think of is that like Homer Simpson - 'every time I learn something new, it pushes old stuff our of my brain!'

Thanks again

This is wonderful and very much appreciated. What a lot of work. WOW!

A big thanks from me too. What a huge task! Even though I've only had a quick glance so far, I can tell your videos are just what I need for a quick start on the web side of things.

Hope you don't mind but I have a small query, (it's probably just me), but in Chapter 5: Presentations (0:29:41 MOUSE INTERACTIVITY: Advanced layer commands), I think you refer to another tutorial with further details, but I'm not exactly sure which one to look at. Thanks.

Yes, sorry. I called them "advanced POPUP layer commands" on my time index. Chapter 4 (2/2) 0:31:10 advanced popup layer commands.

Ah ha that explains it. I was in a hurry and used Find (Ctrl-F) 'Advanced layer' so it didn't show in the search results. I'll take a look at the video later. Thanks again.
