Adobe upgrading e-learning presentation software
446762
(InfoWorld) - Adobe Systems on Tuesday is announcing Adobe Captivate 2, an upgraded version of its Flash-based software for developing computer-based demonstrations and interactive simulations. Geared to e-learning professionals, trainers, and others who provide computer-based instruction, Captivate 2 generates interactive content in Flash and does not require users have programming knowledge or multimedia skills, Adobe said. New in version 2 are workflow enhancements for developing scenario-based training that visually branches out to different learner paths depending on the user's choices. A simulation wizard in version 2 helps in developing "soft skills" simulations, adding content to placeholder slides and setting up branching with point-and-click functionality. Soft skills are skills relating to the ability to communicate with other people, such as in customer support, Adobe said. A placeholder slide is an empty slide to help authors get started with presentations. A zoom capability in version 2, meanwhile, lets users zoom into specific areas of the screen. "Adobe Captivate is a tool that empowers people," to do things they could not do before, said Silke Fleischer, product marketing manager for Adobe Captivate. Flash video can be imported into Captivate presentations. Captivate 2 content can be integrated with other e-learning systems such as Macromedia Breeze, Macromedia Authorware, and Questionmark Perception. Available on October 5, Adobe Captivate 2 costs an estimated $599. Registered users can upgrade for an estimated price of $299.

This library contains classes that generate documents in the Portable Document Format (PDF) and/or HTML.   Whenever people think of PDF and Java, they think of iText. That's great, but it also involves a lot of responsibility: we have to keep on working on the product; fixing bugs, adding new functionality, making it a better product.  The first thing that jumps in the eye with this new release, is the reorganization of the source code. Whereas in the past all the source code was in one com.lowagie.* tree right under src, we now have subdirectories core, rtf and rups. There's also a test directory with different subdirectories containing series of code for testing with JUnit.  Most of these changes are made with the next release in mind. The old RtfWriter will soon disappear, and some new RTF code for manipulating RTF will be added in the new rtf directory: this code will go into a separate jar.  The rups directory contains some code for a new tool that is available in pre-beta as a Java WebStart application. It uses SUN's PDF Renderer to view a PDF document, but adds iText functionality to look beyond the surface: you can easily browse through the syntax that makes your PDF document tick.  Aside from these changes, Paulo made TIFF support more tolerant for broken TIFFs, fixed a bug in PdfSmartCopy, added some new PdfGraphics2D functionality, and much more. Xavier managed the code reorganization and applied the necessary changes to the ANT scripts. Mark did the same for the RTF part and fix a bug concerning styles. I wrote the RUPS code and I introduced some new concepts.  This is the last 2.0.x release, the next release will be iText 2.1.0.

If you missed the previous PHP/Flex online seminar from Adobe, Mike Potter has some good news for you - there's another one coming up on July 17th.   For those of you who missed my first online e-seminar for PHP developers, I'll be hosting another one on July 17th (next Tuesday). The content will be fairly similar, but instead of using AMFPHP I'll use WebORB for PHP, which was updated last week to 2.0.   You can register for the session here.
