Sample H•O•T Chapters

We develop and produce several new Hands-On Training books each year. Most Hands-On Training books have been developed for beginning to intermediate users, which makes them perfect for classrooms. Our Beyond the Basics courses are designed for more advanced users and can be used to supplement in-depth coursework.

Below you will find sample chapters from several of our Hands-On Training books, along with downloadable exercise files that can be used to work in tandem with the training.

The complete, current list of books can be seen in our online store.

If you have questions about the Hands-On Training books, please contact us at books-errata@lynda.com.
