Site News Delay

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Quick update from behind closed doors — I never said we would be a constant machine of new content, did I? If I did, I’m sorry! The brains behind the operation had a family emergency to attend to the past few days.  However, the brains behind the operation are back and expect some new content starting either Saturday or Monday!

Tutorials Coming Soon

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

tutorialsTutorials are coming soon! I have many tutorials that I know I want to create and some of them I have already started.  Because of my time limits, however, I can only crank them out so fast.  My first set of tutorials will be for Adobe Photoshop CS4 and will be geared towards some basic learning.  In the long run I would like to create a tutorial library that slowly progresses from very easy beginner content to more advanced techniques you would see used by professionals.

If you have any ideas for tutorials for any software, please leave a comment on this post or even contact me.  However, I would prefer to get the requests in the form of a comment on this post. Thank you for your patience!

Official Launch

Message from Josh Martin, Owner

Welcome to AbsolutelyGeek.com! The anticipation is finally over, thank goodness! I’ve invested a lot of time into building what you see from the ground up. For about three years I have dreamed of owning an educational website geared towards the instruction of graphics programs and programming languages. I’ve always been a jack of all trades. It started at age 13 with mIRC (an IRC application) where I created my own graphical user interfaces using Photoshop and applied functionality to them with programming. I’ve come a long ways since then with the beginnings of an education in 3D animation and visual effects. I plan to bring all my talents together and give help to others out there who need it in the forms of written tutorials and video tutorials. Along the way I plan to review many resources that I use to learn new techniques and concepts. I hope you thoroughly enjoy my vision of an educational website.
