Best Source for Education on Learning How to Use GameSalad

in Working with GS (Mac)
I really want to get some apps built and need to get better educated on GameSalad to make that happen. I'm looking for nuts and bolts training material beyond the basic manual, I've scoured Youtube and found lots of great pieces to the puzzle but I need a more thorough picture. Does anyone have some insight or direction they could provide?

    I learned what I needed to to get started by watching a series of videos on how to make a basic Pong game, this is the first one.

    Also after watching all those YouTube videos, reading the entire CookBook, and tinkering with free/paid Templates -- try on your own to use all Behaviours in the Creator (just for fun experiments). There're brief explanation of what each does to help you.

    Nothing beats first hand discovery and experience.

    The unofficial Gamesalad Textbook by @Photics is actually a pretty good purchase when you're learning the ropes, it covers pretty much everything you'll need to get started.

    Seriously I would highly recommend @FryingBaconStudios one minute videos. Dave makes it very professionally and has a way at explaining things that makes it easier. I always check back every now and then when new features arrive.
    There are also other helpful members who have done similar things and a quick search in forums would get you them.

    All the best with your learning

    Manual is the first thing to read. Then, you may watch TshirtBooth videos or check out The Unofficial Gamesalad Textbook pro essays. I prefer the last one cause the language of this tutorial is so easy you'll understand everything quickly.
