We aren't directly affiliates with WebDesign.com, it is an iThemes.com project. We also have no financial stake in the training webinars, it's completely independent of us. They like Gravity Forms and saw value in offering training classes for their users. Documentation is always helpful and we will be expanding the available documentation. HOWEVER for less experienced users and developers, documentation isn't a good substitute for proper hands on training. The subject matter associated with the $79 training class is more advanced usage of the plugin for people that don't have the WordPress or PHP know how. Gravity Forms form and post functionality can be used in so many ways that we can't possibly document all of them in a sufficient manner. An instructor is present, leads the training and people can ask questions during the webinar. Adobe Photoshop is well documented with numerous books available, but there are still training classes that are conducted for it. Documentation and training are not the same thing. While we do provide documentation and will be expanding upon our documentation, we aren't going to get into training or providing training. Thats not what we do and it's better left to those that do it for a living. The advanced training webinar has nothing to do with us or our documentation.

The very thought I have to pay $79 to learn stuff that should really be in the documentation worries me. Hope you'll look into this. Thanks for making a stellar product!
