Great getting started resources for new users of Burp Suite Professional

Summary: PortSwigger published a list of getting-started resources for new Burp Suite Professional users, including video tutorials on the basics voiced by founder and CEO Dafydd Stuttard, a blog post on seven Pro-exclusive features, and the free Web Security Academy. The list also points to community content creators InsiderPhD, webpwnized, and STÖK, plus the BApp Store's hundreds of free open source extensions and Burp Extender for writing extensions in Java, Python, or Ruby.
Bottom line: The BApp Store's hundreds of free, open source extensions mean the tool your testers run is shaped by community code they choose to install, so what gets vetted before it lands in a pentester's Burp Suite is a decision someone has to own.
