I would heartily recommend the "Learning & Mastering" CD from Platte Canyon. It's got all the tips, tricks, and code you'll need to get you off to a good start.

I would like to add that I think the Learning & Mastering CD is one of the best tools for learning all the aspects of ToolBook I've ever seen. I've been through the ToolBook course with an approved instructor and the CD. I feel that this CD is worth a lot more than the asking price. It would behoove and organization to purchase this CD and I hardly ever use the word behoove.

Learning & Mastering is GREAT! I'd recommend it to anyone.

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.
