What was your first project with Storyline?

OMG, my first Storyline project? A long time ago, on a Windows version far, far away... 

Due to proprietary content and all that, I don't have any project files from that time. Just as well, since it'd be too embarrassing to share them. Basic compliance stuff.

I do remember how exciting it was to have the extra control Storyline offered over Studio. (Not all rosy; I also remember how you had to view SL1 at 100% when editing, or the text boxes would appear wonky.) And I remember the excitement of the fixes and features available when moving to SL2, SL3, and SL360.

It was mostly "learn by doing"—though with a heavy dose of "learn by looking it up." Pretty sure I had eLearning Uncovered books for the first three versions. Haven't opened it in a long time, but I still have the 2nd Edition of the SL360 version. (Yeah, from 2018. So the accuracy level has decreased with every new feature.) 

I also attended the Articulate Road Show when it came to town. Very helpful, as were some of the SL-related presentations done for local organizations. 

Cant' remember when I started visiting the Forum. Everyone should have that bookmarked (along with the User Guides). The community is where to go for answers or just inspiration. 

Finally, I highly recommend the monthly "Quick Tips" presentations. I always learn something new in every one!

Which seems like a good excuse to re-share this:
