Hi guys, I've just been doing some research into whats available to try to learn this stuff. It seems that there are a couple of places out there. Some of which take the trade school approach, that is there courses last for 3 or 4 months. The prices aren't that bad either. I didn't bookmark any of them otherwise I'd have included the links. I've often been advised to ask arround town to see if you can intern with local studios. > -----Original Message----- > From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Christopher Bartlett > Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 8:04 PM > To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Am I in over my head? > > > It occurs to me that it would be a good thing (tm) if those > of us who are > completely bumfuzzled could find mentors.
