I have made no secret that I am a big fan and a major user of Camtasia Studio. This software has been part of my development work flow since 2004. I use Camtasia to develop online learning modules, help tutorials, and wide range of learning objects to support online learning. Along with Camtasia I have also purchased every edition of Daniel Parks book Camtasia Studio – The Definitive for versions 3,4,5 and 6.

Daniel Parks also has his own website and newsletter dappertext.com
