As a newcomer to DNN, Creative DNN was the most effective learning tool I found.  Instantly increased my productivity, kept me from hitting the wall.  The videos were great - clear, on target, and very thorough.  Just the stuff you need when starting out .  Subscribing was the the best investment I've made in DNN land.  And as if the site alone is not worth it, I hit a snag applying RSS newsfeed display templates, and Lee was kind enough to immediately return my post to one of the forums with a link to the correct code.  If you are considering subscribing, go for it.  A fabulous resource - thanks Lee.
