Adobe Captivate Print Materials

Participant ,

Hello, all!  Just a quick question:  I've been very happy and impressed with Photoshop Creative magazine.  In it, there are several 'how-tos' and the downloadable resources.  

I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not there is a magazine devoted (all or in part) to Captivate with similar features.

If not, perhaps this would be a good add their the laundry list of offerings?

Thoughts?

You cannot compare the user base of Photoshop with that very small group of Captivate users. Who would want to spend money on such a magazine. I have started even writing a couple of books, but when I realized this would only cost me a lot of money, and very little CP-users ever want to spend any money, expect everything for free.... I just gave up. I just published another blog post, do not dare to tell how many hours of free, non-paid work have been spent on it.

Thanks, Lilybiri!  And believe me, I understand your plight regarding the challenge of writing books.  From my experience, all I have is the advice to stick with it, and only good things will come.  Whether they be monetary or not, a completed project will put a smile on your face.

And as stated, I would be interested in resources devoted in part to Captivate because of the smaller following to that platform as opposed to the much larger sought after Photoshop.

Perhaps, folks from this Community could consider sharing thoughts on working together on something like this?

Thoughts everyone?

My blog is dedicated to Captivate.  Most articles are not meant for newbies, which causes me often comments. I planned to write some cookbooks for advanced/shared actions with practical use cases. Not for monetary reasons, but when I did realize the costs, was discouraged. I don't want to earn money with books, but conversions to Kindle ebook and other proprietary format do have a pretty high cost.

The audience is too small for Captivate, and the support by Adobe for this small app is almost non-existent, with the exception of the Captivate team itself.  Even Adobe communities like the ACP and the AEL almost ignore its existence, I feel like a Don Quixote fighting windmills when I try to defend Captivate.
