I'm doing 40 things
I went from never having used Logic Pro six months ago to earning my certification today. My best resource was the Peachpit Press book by David Nahmani. I worked through the entire book TWICE. I also used Lynda.com, but I found that watching the videos was not at all helpful for a complete beginner. A little persistence goes a long way.
