no prob
i still have A LOT to learn myself, but i'm getting there...books such as David Gibson's The Art of Mixing and Rick Snoman's Dance Music Manual are incredibly useful with tons of vital notions and insight into sound design, programming, production and mixing techniques and even mastering notions that i find quite practical to know when working on a mix.
i also learned progressively, by reading articles on mixing techniques in Mix Mazagine Online and the afore-mentionned books, and also by road-testing my mixes with a friend who does professionnal mastering jobs, that the Channel Strip Settings in Logic aren't really practical or representative of real recording/mixing techniques.
Then again one could argue that it's a matter of personal preference when it comes to the finer details of compressing, EQ-ing, De-essing, Noise-Gating and Effects-processing your tracks.
But of most of all, the lesson to take from these sources is that there are general guidelines that are really helpful to follow, but everything is relative to the context of recording, programming and music style and so forth for the project that you're working on
