Tips for Lynda.com

Some Lynda.com tips

I’ve written a short answer in the FAQ Links to an external site. that I would recommend reading before you get started with Lynda.com. Feel free to check that out.

Downloading the Lynda.com Exercise files

Before you get started, the first thing you will want to do is download the Exercise Files for this Lynda.com lesson. You’ll see a download button write above the video. Note: This particular file is 621.28 MB (BIG!). Keep this in mind when you are ready to get start that it may take a few minutes for that to download based on your internet speed. If you are having issues getting the file, please let me know via email ASAP. I’m also going to add a friendly reminder that if you are going to use the computer lab, remember that the computer wipes your files every time you log out. Make sure that you always carry a flash drive or external hard drive with you!

Once it’s downloaded, unzip the file. You will notice that it contains folders which correspond with specific “chapters.”

We will using the files inside of Chapter 06 and Chapter 07 for this week.

I’ve provided a couple of screenshots above of what those files should look like. Yours should look the same if you are on a Mac. The files will work either way whether you are on a Windows or Mac computer.
