I am trying to figure out how to use Illustrator. I am fairly competent with Photoshop but Illustrator is giving me headaches.

Can anyone recommend a book or website?

Thanks!

Whenever I need to learn a new program I always subscribe to one month of video tutorials from lynda.com. There are videos about everything there including the basics and more advanced techniques for illustrator. Good luck.

+1 for lynda.com

I used to buy books but these days i only go for video tutorials be it lynda.com, pixelcorps or gnomon workshop. You learn so much more effectively than book which get really boring really quickly.

Books are fine for more general topics, but for specific application training - video training is the only way to go.
