Editorial Reviews

Review

I'm sure it will form an invaluable resource for my future work in ToolBook. --Peter Whellum

From the Author

We've been using ToolBook since 1993 and still consider it to be the best product around for computer and web based training. This book contains a unique collection of articles about using ToolBook for training, technical explorations on programming and advanced ToolBook techniques, a large compilation of Expert Information topics, and an array of documented OpenScript Tips to help you harness the power of ToolBook's scripting language.

Training Solutions addresses needs that may arise when developing training with ToolBook. The collected articles in this section cover case studies, creating study guides, 3-D animation, student tracking, incorporating media into ToolBook, and more.

ToolBook Techniques gets “under the hood” to help you become a power developer. It includes articles on using OpenScript to save time and improve interactivity. We go behind the scenes of Platte Canyon's popular Learning & Mastering ToolBook... series to learn how to use the Agent ActiveX control, simulate software applications, and more. We extend the boundaries of catalog objects by introducing “Extended Page Templates.” Finally, the section includes a very popular tutorial on using InstallShield® Professional for ToolBook installations.

Expert Information includes over 200 explanations, helpful hints, and programming nuggets to expand your horizons as a ToolBook developer. In addition to topics from the authors, there are important contributions by Tim Barham and Denny Dedmore of Click2learn as well as other leading developers.

OpenScript Tips presents a full collection of tips and tricks on using OpenScript in ToolBook. With actual script on the left of the page and corresponding descriptions on the right, this section offers a rare glimpse into the mind of the ToolBook programmer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Toolbiik Companion, October 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The ToolBook Companion: Solutions, Techniques, Expert Information, and OpenScript Tips (Paperback)
Good book with lots of useful information but terribly out of date.
Published in 2001 and refers to Toolbook 8.6 and many of the examples are from much earlier versions than that.
