Links, Sites, Resources
No one person (or Web site) can contain every bit of knowledge about any particular subject anymore — the world is just too complex. So here are some of our favorite resources outside of InDesignSecrets.com:
InDesign Wish List and Bug Reports
If you find a bug in InDesign or want to send Adobe a wish-list item for a future version of the program, visit Adobe’s Feedback page.
InDesign Plug-ins
Managed by Adobe’s legendary Mark Niemann-Ross, you can find many great plug-ins listed here.
Scripting InDesign
If you want to learn more about scripting in InDesign, check out these cool resources:
- Adobe’s Scripting Site
- Even more Scripting Stuff (and XML stuff) from Adobe
- The Adobe Studio Exchange’s List of Free Scripts
Magazine
If you’re a serious InDesign user, you need a subscription to InDesign Magazine. (See this post for a special deal for InDesignSecrets readers.) You can also sign up for their free tip-of-the-week there (written by our own David Blatner).
Books
Information on the Web is all very well and good, but we believe there is no real substitute for a good book on the subject. Click here for a list of books we recommend.
Videos
- Michael Murphy’s TheInDesigner
- Lynda.com: You can get a free one-week trial subscription to lynda.com and watch hundreds (or thousands!) of movies on all kinds of subjects.
- Free QuarkXPress to InDesign Migration Videos from Adobe (recorded by David)
User Groups
The InDesign User Groups are a great place to get more information about InDesign. Check out a local meeting, or visit the Web site for information about what other groups are learning.
Online forums
You can post questions and read solutions at the independent InDesignTalk listserv and Adobe’s InDesign forums.
Conferences/Seminars
Get together with several hundred of the world’s leading InDesign users and trainers at The InDesign Conference.
