SAP Visual Enterprise Tutorials
When you first start up Visual Enterprise Author (VEA), there is a link under Help/Tutorials and examples that is a good starting point.
The best set of training videos however can be found by going to the Deep Exploration Video Channel
A channel for everyone interested in the concepts of the Visual Enterprise and Visual Communication with a focus on SAP Visual Enterprise Applications (formerly Right Hemisphere Deep Exploration & Deep Server).
The channel is managed by Right Connect, the Visual Enterprise Specialists in Asia Pacific and distributor/reseller for SAP Visual Enterprise Applications in Asia Pacific.
THey have done a spectacular job breaking up video tutorials of VEA (deep exploration) into a variety of categories. I would start with the HOW to series, starting with the User Interface, and then move into videos that focus more on specific feature sets, i.e. Section Cutting, Technical Illustrating, Creating Steps and Procetures….
