All video tutorials I've contributed to can be found on My YouTube Channel, along with a few samples from the DTE v3 book which I've added as freebies. Keep checking back and subscribe to the channel and my Facebook page as I'll be updating those considerably more than this page from now on. Here's a sample.
Currently (to date) there are around 14 video tutorials on YouTube which totals around six hours of content. Don't forget to subscribe for additional updates and also let me know if there's any specific ones you'd like to see in the future...

A
number of tips, tricks, techniques, answers to questions and tutorials I have
written over the past few years for various publications. This list will grow,
expand and possibly be modified over time, so check back occasionally! The text
contained within is un-modified from the the day it was written and may be slightly
different from the text in the publications, due to editing for space, terminology
or daft schpelling mishtakes.
