Has Anyone Taken Any Online Courses For Programmin?
If So, Was It Worth The Time & Money...
I Can Do Some Programmin... Just Want To Expand My Knowledge & Maybe Learn Some Tricks & Tips.
I Can Do Simple Drill & Tap Canned Cycles... But Calculating Arc Profiles , Arc Tangents , Etc. Is Where I Can Use Some Teaching...
Can Anyone Suggest A Good Source To Learn Programming.

Thanks

There are several clesses by Mike Lynch.
I took a parametric course from him 2 years ago. Learned a lot

OK, this is self publicity but I published a book on cnc machines that covers both turning and machining centres and features both GE Fanuc and Siemens controls. It has some information on calculations together with tips etc. It costs about $18 + postage from the publisher www.lulu.com/bryanhurst it is called "The Journeyman's Guide to CNC Machines" ISBN 1-4116-9921-1. I use this book for training courses I run, any controller specific data can be added to the book (spaces are provided). It is not an on line course but as you have some knowledge you should be able to use the book OK.

Maybe some interest :

(1) KipwareEDU - CNC Programming Training & Reference software uses in-depth text and 3D animations with voice to teach CNC programming & operation.

(2) Trig Kalculator software uses fill-in-the-blank forms to quickly calculate start point / end points / center points for intersecting lines as well as arc-line-arc intersecting points.

Thanks.
