What's are some good resources to get better at FACS?
http://www.cytometry.org/Resource-Center//
http://isac-net.org/Education/CYTO-U.aspx
Here are a couple of free resources from BioRad and BD, respectively:

https://www.bu.edu/flow-cytometry/files/2010/10/BD-Flow-Cytom-Learning-Guide.pdf
Also, the book "Flow Cytometry Data Analysis: Basic Concepts and Statistics" by James V Watson is a good overview of the maths behind flow.

Hi Alice, this is a question that comes up quite frequently and I would recommend the following articles as the best possible resources that I know:
Chapter Basic Multicolor Flow Cytometry
Article Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in...
Furthermore, the online learning center of ThermoFisher has a set of pretty good articles and videos explaining basic concepts:

Lastly, joining the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) or attending their annual congress will also provide a lot of learning material.
Have fun learning about flow!
Thank you all very much!
