Hi, can anyone correct this sentence with regard to commas?
That would be great! If you could also provide me with the respective rules it would be even better...:

"Being a self-motivated, fast(,?) learner(,?)and familiar with (WYSIWYG-) HTML editors, page layout(,?) and image processing programs, I am positive(,?) I will be able to use FrameMaker and RoboHelp very fast(,?) in a professional way."

I thought the first bit is one part in a list and from 'familiar to programs' it's the second part, so no comma between these parts, as the list only consists of two items. But there's also this "internal" list of '(WYSIWYG-) HTML editors, page layout and image processing programs'. It consists of 3 items, but actually just of two, since 'page layout and image processing programs' goes together??? So no comma between those two?
Well, generally confused, here!!!

...and does anyone know any useful advanced book or website for the use of commas (punctuation)?
Thanks a lot!!!

That's how i'd punctuate it!
