    I'm correcting a previous comment. The online support is available. The book comes with a code that you put into the website. I was putting in the code the wrong way. That was my bad. I've checked out the online videos and the instruction is clear and comprehensive.

    The description says book and CD. There's no CD with the book. The book itself says there is online access included. There's no online access.
