There wasn't one magic day, or month, or even year, that everything changed. Like most major shifts, it happened gradually.
Although really, nothing has truly changed in the last 15+ years, and likely much longer - it's just that, quite naturally, the tools have grown in quality and availability. There have always been books, I suspect there have always been people you could pay to coach, and there has been software since online poker started. Poker boomed, and so did the supply of tools. Poker slowed, but the best tools didn't disappear, and they just keep improving.
So it is, and always will be, with any competitive endeavor. Especially one where substantial money could be made after a relatively short learning curve/time.
