Thanks Jim, appreciate the recommendation to give the course a try. I've tried other courses from them, and I know they do a pro job.

My hesitation is that the 2015 version is 4 years old now, but probably for a beginner, getting a starting point is more important.
Theoretically, it should be at least "easier" then, to figure out the newer features. I'll take your word for it.

I would make a comparison to learning Photoshop...... another intimidating program at first, but getting tutorials on "strategies" and "workflow" is what really helped me. Short tips and tricks are great, but getting the big picture is the hardest part!
