I've used some Lynda tutorials and they weren't bad. I can't remember if I've done total training

Total training is the best.

Lynda has different material though, like CSS tutorials and XML tutorials.. that Total Training doesnt have. Total Training's series for Adobe and Macromedia does PWN though. Total Training is better in quality, although Lynda isnt bad.

All in all, I'd say they're both good.. if you're looking to get CODING videos (XML, CSS) go for Lynda... if you're looking for tutorials on programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) go for Total Training.

Haha, also, in the long run I think they're better than a college education if these are the things you're going to school for ;)

i havent seen that many TT, but usually Lynda has some good tips&tricks from people in the field. where as TT seems more like a video manual...
