My only wish is that there were more tutorials for CCS. I'm not a developer, merely a website designer used to using Dreamweaver but moving to CCS to create the admin functionality for PHP/mySQL websites I've created in Dreamweaver.
I have learned so much about other software packages from Peachpit Visual Quickstart books as well as various tutorials (especially PDFs) on the web. This is a fantastic way to learn.
For example, file uploads in CCS totally rock, and are so much better than any commercial Dreamweaver plug-in, yet how to create them isn't actually described in any of the CCS literature. We need a step-by-step instruction for those of us that aren't coders by profession. Take a look at the forums, for example, to see how many other people haven't got the file upload functions to work properly.
I'm confident you'd have a huge new fan base of ex-Dreamweaver folks if you spent some time creating literature and tutorials for an audience with less expertise. A book would be great, too, and even some commercial classes.
Just my $0.02.
Cheers, Lurch

I think that that the CCS Tutorials cover quite good amount of basic functionality, then there is CCS Example Pack with more advanced examples, then you may want to take a look at CCS Developer Magazine which also address File Upload functionality: http://www.dataobjx.net/CCS_Magazine.asp
You also gave good examples of Peachpit and "various tutorials on the web", which are offered by 3rd party publishers. I agree that no amount of tutorials provided by us can be sufficient until others start writing about CCS, so let's hope to see more such resources on the net.
Finally, the File Upload may be one example of a common topic on the forums (and answered many times too), but how many more examples of common topics can you provide, and what specific tutorials would you like to see?

This search for CCS tutorials http://www.google.com/search?q=ccs+tutorials will return tutorials on other subjects and I always enjoy reading prints of the dataobjx CCS Developer Magazine.
However, while inserting File Upload control is well described in the CCS help file under Component Reference /Components as well as an image showing how to add it to a form, the other settings such as file paths and permissions would need some attention so the "audience with less expertise" would know what information to ask of their ISP regarding the settings in CCS for File Upload
