Product Description:
Creating interactive lessons that can be viewed over the Internet or from a CD are all the rage. There are many programs that can be used to capture a computer’s screen, mouse action and audio. Captivate may be the best of the lot.

Using this fast-paced, step-by-step workbook, you will master Captivate, formerly RoboDemo. You will learn how you can capture screen shots of just about anything on your computer and quickly turn them into movies. You will learn how to make your movies visually appealing and interactive by adding such things as images, captions, rollovers, clickable areas, typing areas, narrative, and sound effects. You will also learn to create quizzes that can be integrated into a Learning Management System.

Note: To complete the lessons presented in this book, you will need the following software and hardware: Macromedia Captivate, 600 MHz Intel Pentium III processor or equivalent, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, 128 MB of RAM, 100 MB available disk space.

- Could be a great book
Captivate is a very useful elearning, simulation/demo program that lets you do a multitude of things. This book touches on many of those topics. I work for an instructional team that works with Captivate students and we find this book to be very boring. The sample files are drab and while some of the files on the CD rom in the back of the book are useful, many of the files are bit silly - such as the sound bytes - not real world enough. It does have a decent section in the front that briefly discusses ... Read More

- Cheapest class you will ever take
This book is the cheapest class you may ever have, and it is a good class. As you may have noticed there are not many books written on Captivate. It's a shame because Adobe's Captivate really is great program.

I am a freelance web designer and Flash animator in the Seattle market. Last year I wanted to learn Captivate and realized there are no classes in the Puget Sound area and only 3 books on the market.

I purchased this one and it taught me the program just working on the ... Read More

- Essentials of Macromedia Captivate
This is a very user friendly book. The ony thing that would make it better is if it were geared for Captivate 2. After going through this book, I feel that I don't need any organized teaching sessions for the skills.

- WYBIWTP - What You Buy Is What Title Promises
"Essentials of Macromedia (now Adobe) Captivate" is the
title of the book. The promise is maintained when you buy it,
read it and follow its step by step exercises.
If I'm right, "essentials" are the things that come first and
foremost. When you are new to a jungle, a subject or an
application you want to get the essentials as fast as you can.
If the application you want to learn is Captivate, then Kevin's
book is the buddy on your side, the one with more ... Read More

- These Drills Really DO Increase Your Skills!
I really think this is the best software tutorial I have ever used, and I have used quite a few in my trillion-year career as a technical writer. It has just the right level of detail. So many tutorial writers leave major concepts and steps out because they assume that you know what they know. And you don't, that's why you bought their stupid book. But this one guides you gently through all you need to know to get firmly established in using Captivate. It was a great help to me when I suddently found a ... Read More
