I am just starting out as a WBT developer and this book provides a good foundation for anyone new or even those who are familar with previous Captivate versions. It also gives a brief synopsis of how to set up a plan for developing a WBT. The quality of the book is great too with plenty of screen shots of the software.

Thanks to the publishers I had it just when I needed it.

A good guide to Captivate, which is a quirky product mostly used for eLearning and demonstrations/simulations/training.

As a substitute to a hard-copy manual, Adobe Captivate 3 is good. Wish there were more real-life examples, but for the price this is technical information that you don't get in Captivate's help files.
