The Articulate Network does such an amazing job at being resourceful and answering questions for beginners (like myself) and advanced developers. I'm working on two courses currently, one using Storyline and the other using Adobe Captivate; does anyone know of ANY good resources for Captivate? I feel their trainers are very proprietorial and don't like to share their tips and tricks, which makes it extremely hard to develop in Captivate.
Any help or guidance would be very helpful and appreciated!
@Katie, have you checked out the Captivate blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/ Along the right side, there are links to tutorial, examples, seminars, etc.
I find that Lieve Weimesi's blog -- http://blog.lilybiri.com/ -- to be a great resource. She has tutorials covering many aspects of Captivate and if ever you have a question, she's always quick to respond on Twitter @Lilybiri
there is a big difference between the two communities of Articulate and Adobe.
For Adobe Captivate there is no community like the elearning heroes. Several specialists offer blogs but the content is spreaded.The Captivate gurus also like to show their tips and tricks but there is no centralized community. You will have to discover the specialists by reading tweets or asking the Articulate community.
Just like Bruce said: A lot of E-Learning developers work with Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline.
The developers are not too shy, there is just no comparable community with Articulate Pros (including the staff), experienced workers and newbies with so much interactivity.

Hi Katie,
A lot of the developers here work in Captivate too - is there anything specific you need help with?
If so - put it out here, and you may end up with a PM conversation and get it sorted.

Thank you Bruce, Michael, Kristian, Richard and Ralf! I appreciate all of your feedback.
I think my biggest issue is Captivate's advanced actions; I don't understand how to create them let alone use them in a course!
Advanced actions are roughly comparable to Storyline triggers. Here is some basic info on how to use them.
