Training Videos
Safari Books Online helps you hit the ground running with its powerful, comprehensive collection of over 1,400 hours of online training videos that provide top-notch instruction on Web design, software development and graphic tools and techniques from leading experts in training videos like Talented Pixie and Splash Media. You can watch the videos in sequence or skip to the chapters that interest you most. You may also follow clearly defined learning objectives and track your progress along the way.
These training videos are organized into bite-sized, self-contained sessions so you’ll get valuable knowledge and skills in as little as 15 minutes. You’ll be shown exactly how to get great results in your real-world environment.
Short Cuts
You asked for concise digital documents that provide concentrated information that shows you new ways to solve daily problems. We delivered Short Cuts.
Short Cuts are exclusive short-topic works produced by our leading authors on subjects that are either too early in their life cycle or too specific to have entire books dedicated to the topic.
Short Cuts provide deep coverage of a specific topic, usually in fewer than 100 pages and are well suited for a dynamic authoring model that allows for content updates to keep the Short Cut  information fresh and up to date. And, like our books, Short Cuts are editorially vetted and held up to our publishers' high standards.
Access to Short Cuts is included at no additional cost for Safari Books Online subscribers.
Rough Cuts
Rough Cuts provides you with early access to books – before they are published or publicly available – and access to the authors who write those books.
Sometimes you just can't wait for the book to be printed. When you need early access to information about the latest technology, Rough Cuts are your solution. Rough Cuts are books-in-progress that provide early access to information on cutting-edge technologies.
Rough Cuts also gives you access to books as they are being written - a sneak peek into the authoring process. Users can help shape the content of the book by providing feedback and participating in dialogues with authors and other subscribers about book content while it’s being developed.
Rough Cuts are typically available in Safari Books Online two to six months prior to a book's publication and are continually updated. Future iterations of the manuscript (Rough Cut) and published work (book) are included in the price of the subscription to Safari Books Online.

on the topic.
