Captivate Guide is 'captivating,
By
This review is from: Macromedia Captivate: The Definitive Guide (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)
I had been looking for a book on Captivate for some time, so I was happy to see this one come out. Having used Captivate for a few months now, I had gotten beyond the basic 'how-to' and was looking for some of the more advanced tips & tricks.
As I read through the book, I was amazed at all of the little things I picked up, even in chapters were I thought I knew how to do what the author was describing. The book is well-written and well-designed. It contains a lot of very good information that will help any Captivate user, beginning or advanced, to turn out a better product. I would recommend the book to anyone who uses or is thinking about using Captivate.

Helpful for Beginners,
By
This review is from: Macromedia Captivate: The Definitive Guide (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)
The book is well organized and written clearly, however, I was hoping to find a little more in-depth information for a more advanced user.
This book will really help you if you are a Beginning or early Intermediate user of Captivate.

Definitive? Nahhh Don't think so.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Macromedia Captivate: The Definitive Guide (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)
This book is rated for Introductory to Advanced users. I would rate it as something akin to "Captivate for the Mentally challenged" and a complete waste of time if you have used captivate for more than 30 minutes.
Don't waste your money on this book. Play with the application a bit and this book quickly becomes irrelevant paper pulp. I look for a bit more than information on resizing windows and slide elements in a definitive guide. Sorry, Brenda.
