Most of those dvd's and cd's will be of little use to you in the work force.
CNC's have many diffrent controllers and come in all diffrent types. If you realy want to learn how to run a CNC well then I sujest you just get out there and find a work shop that has a good training program.
I have trained many people on okuma cnc controlls and i can say with confidence that a dvd or cd rom will probably not get you far.
Find a good tradsman and ask questions =)

if your just starting out any basic training dvd or cd or book will help you with basic machine tool programming and operation. Most shop will not spend the time to train someone because they know after your trained your down the street for a buck an hour more.Check your local trade school they may have some course(mostly not untill fall)
