Intro tutorials or book for new user?

[joshuabass]

I am a long time CAD user (Catia v4/v5, SolidWorks, Pro/E), but I landed at a company that uses NX6 (soon to upgrade to 7 or 8 I hear). I have not been able to find any good intro level tutorials or books for NX. The few books I found had terrible reviews.

Are there any recommended training materials for an intro level user of NX? I will not be getting formal training at my company since they leave all "official" modeling to the drafting group. I would however like to be able to do my own rough layouts and analysis.

I have no direct experience with 'MyIgetit' although I did know, and even worked with some of the people who started the original company, but that was a long time (and a couple of past owners) ago. That being said I know a lot of people use their services so I'm sure someone here will be able to give you a first-person report on their stuff.
