I also have effectively used the Learning & Mastery CD from Platte Canyon for my own learning.

You all do such extremely high quality work. Your Learning & Mastering series is phenomenal. I know that it has benefited me. In fact I'm going to revisit it over the next month or so.
-
I started with ToolBook about four months ago and at that time purchased Platte Canyon's CBT called "Learning and Mastering ToolBook Instructor." It was very helpful. I was able to begin real development work right away.
-
I am very new to ToolBook, and am enjoying the CD. It provides very detailed information on the tools, properties, and other things that are new to someone not experienced with CBT authoring tools.

The Platte Canyon Instructor CBT is excellent! As a semi-advanced developer, I couldn't wait to study the code behind this training. In fact, I probably spent 2 hours studying system book code before I got to course menu. I've had a difficult time finding useful examples of advanced OpenScript on the Web, but the Instructor CBT provides a library of them. Two particularly
useful Neuron deployment tips have really improved my Web-based course distributions. The Microsoft Agent code examples, alone, are worth the price of admission. Thanks for a super product! I'm really glad Platte Canyon is around to provide 3rd party products for ToolBook.
