Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Does anyone know of a training media on Planning, as in ye olde way? Looking to get more of the basics of planning but not tied to a specific software. I was meant to be attending a course on Planning here in Aberdeen, however it wont run due to myself being the only attendee. So I require an alternative. Books or online material would be great. It seems that planning is almost entirly "a learn on the go job"??
