I have never used Maya before

Sorry for shouting, but I wanted to get everyone's attention. I have never used Maya before, and am looking to get up to speed. I know that for Adobe products that Total Training is the best way to go. Is there such a thing for Maya? I guess I'm looking for any advice on where I should begin. Thanks for all your help everyone.

The basic tutorials that come with Maya are a good start. The video tutorials on this site (both free and VIP) are really good as well. And of course, there are our DVDs which you can purchase.

oh yeah and Avidboy, kiss your life goodbye. Mayas like having a very demanding girlfreind/boyfreind who you just cant bring yourself to get rid of.
