Good to know basics.
First time I got to understand what Pan Laws is. Also has given me several ideas for mixing. Even for reconfirming what you already know, it's well worth it.

Great chance to watch a mixing workflow
Something that is only now starting to be a bit less rare than hen's teeth is the chance for newbies to watch an experienced mixer show his/her workflow in mixing. Although the scope of this video is limited to panning, it's still extremely helpful to watch how someone goes through the paces.

Excellent Video on Panning
This is something I will definitely use now that I know how useful it is. I knew the basics of Left and Right but not panning a stereo track hard left and center or placing like sounds to the same side of the stereo field.
