This morning, I was part of a meeting at work for a new project. The project is to create training demos for a program that is being written at work. Can’t really talk about what the program is. Anyway, they need some of those interactive trainings where the demo shows the information being typed into the right spaces and then puts up the bubbles to explain when to press the Tab key and such. Well, I am going to be one of the programmers creating those training demos.
I have no experience with the program we are making the training demo for. And we are to use Adobe Captivate to make the training demo. I have never used that either, but from the very short intro I got to see, it isn’t that much different from Flash, which I do have experience with, so I am not too concerned.
I will also be creating a web page that will have the buttons on it that the user will click to initiate the different trainings. Hey, it is something to do when I am waiting for my regular project information to trickle in. Of course, the deadline is September 1, and the first prototype is due next Thursday. They wanted to have it on Thursday this week, but since I don’t have a copy of the software, and they don’t have any more licenses right now, we pushed the deadline for a week. Hopefully, I will have a chance to get some of the work done by the end of the week, so that I can think about it a bit over the weekend, and jump right in on Monday. I do my best work when I have part of it done, and then have a chance to let it germinate while I “rest”.
