(PRWEB) August 3, 2005

ACT! is a contact management database. It provides calendar, contact and communications functions as well as sales tools and reporting capabilities. Fredricks said she won’t have to change her style much to explain the Microsoft, QuickBooks and Palm-compatible software.

“The Dummies books have been so successful because of the foolproof formula developed by Wiley,” said Fredricks. “This approach is so similar to my own instructional style, that writing this book is both a rewarding and fun project.”

According to Fredricks, “Writing this book posed a variety of challenges. The content had to be highly focused and triple checked for items such as grammar, accuracy, explanation of acronyms, and ease of use by the reader. In addition, the presentation had to include enough humor to provide an enjoyable reading experience while providing instruction regarding the use of highly technical content.”

Fredricks has over 20 years of computer consulting and training experience in South Florida, during which time she has acquired in-depth expertise in the operational requirements of a broad spectrum of businesses. Her company, Tech Benders, provides a variety of services to businesses of all types and sizes, including needs analyses to determine hardware and software requirements, installation of selected software packages, troubleshooting, software customization, and training.

OpenCAD’s Downloadable AutoCAD 2006 Training CD Demonstrates a Profitable Business Model for Self-Published Technical Writers and Small Presses

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) October 3, 2005

The downloadable AutoCAD 2006 Training CD by OpenCAD International Inc. delivers a complete course in AutoCAD 2006 for just . This streamlined multimedia product illustrates how small presses and self-published technical writers can make distribution of technical training content more profitable by reducing distribution costs.

Most people who walk into a bookstore or a computer store are unaware that approximately 55% of every dollar they spend goes to the bookstore and the distributor that stocked and shipped them the book or CD. The publisher receives 30% to 35% of the retail purchase price of a book or training CD, while the author (or authors) of the product usually make less than 10% of the gross retail purchase price after expenses and returns are calculated.

To put this in perspective, a technical writer who writes a book or training CD which sells 10,000 copies would earn ,000 if every copy sold at full price, which it wouldn’t. The publisher would earn approximately ,000, less the costs associated with printing, duplication and shipping the product to the distributor. And, since distributors aren’t known for paying publishers promptly, publishers and authors might wait two or three years to receive full payment for their work.

These numbers are important because they show that writers and publishers aren’t well rewarded, as a rule, for creating technical training material. This is one reason why the cost of technical books, including self-help computer books and third party reference manuals keeps rising.

These equations also have an impact on the quality of training material created and distributed to customers. In most cases, publishers try to maximize the amount of time their book or training CD will be available during the life cycle of a software product or technology. This means that authors frequently write their training material based beta software, and they rush that content through it’s development cycle to make sure the finished product at the bookstore or the computer store the day the software or technology hits the market.

Customers pay the price when books and training CDs contain inaccuracies or avoid hard-to-use features. It also explains why so many training products are regurgitations of the manuals that ship with the product.

OpenCAD’s AutoCAD 2006 Training CD, yet another in OpenCAD’s series of downloadable training products, illustrates that small presses and technical writers can deliver training more quickly to their customers, provide a better training product, and retain a much larger percentage of each sale, if they distribute their training products via download rather than in print or on CD.

Nancy Fulton, President of OpenCAD International Inc. says “We’ve been training AutoCAD users through our subscription based training site (http://www.complete-support.com) since 1996. Thie year we launched our AutoCAD Downloadable Training CD’s, partially in response to the rising costs associated with distributing our products through bookstores. Our downloadable training CDs are now our best selling products. Architects, Engineers and other designers are savvy enough to be comfortable paying for a product they download. These professionals see the value in getting a better product delivered right to their desktop than they could buy in a store.”

OpenCAD’s AutoCAD 2006 Training CD features 11 animations and 21 step-by-step tutorials covering 2D drawing and editing tools, as well as plotting, 3D modeling and customization. For ultimate compatibility, OpenCAD made the product HTML-based and created its animations in standard .avi format.

Mark Mazur, OpenCAD CEO says, “Publishers and technical writers who want to publish products this way must make sure that technical support issues are kept to an absolute minimum. People purchase this material to save time and solve problems. Buggy installations of proprietary software and complicated authorization keys are not an option.”

The AutoCAD 2006 Training CD can be delivered on physical media (a CD) but most customers elect to download the product instead.

Learn Real-Time Computer Graphics the Easy Way With “Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists” by Sebastien St-Laurent.

Redmond, WA (PRWEB) September 21, 2004

“Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists”, a first of its kind, is now available in online, including Amazon.com and retail stores worldwide. Many of the most anticipated games of the year such as Doom 3 (ID Software), HALO 2 (Bungie) and Half-Life 2 (Valve), take advantage of new programmable shader technology to create the some of the most breathtaking computer graphics ever. This new books takes a head-on approach programmable shaders, allowing both developers and technically minded artists to take advantage of this new revolution.

The author of “Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists”, Sebastien St-Laurent holds a degree in Computer Engineering from Sherbrooke University in Québec (Canada) where he graduated at top of his class in 1999. Since then, he worked on many video game titles including: Space Invaders, Dave Mira Freestyle BMX, Dave Mira Freestyle BMX2, Aggressive Inline, BMX XXX. Sebastien is now currently employed with the Microsoft Corporation where he is a graphics developer for the Microsoft Game Studios.

In a recent interview with the author, he revealed the goal behind his book was to create a title centered on the development of shaders, without focusing on any specific rendering API’s. By using the RenderMonkey tool developed by ATI Technologies, he was able to bring shaders to a wide audience whether they are hobbyists, technical artists or professional developers. In his interview, Sebastien St-Laurent, had this to say about the future of computer graphics

“Programmable shaders are the best and latest in the computer graphic industry. With the latest generations of video cards out there developed by ATI Technologies and NVIDIA, it is now possible to draw interactive scenes on a computer with an unsurpassed realism. With the current rate of advancement in this field, it is only a matter of years before the quality of graphics generated matches the visuals in some of most recent Hollywood movies such as “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” or “The Matrix”. Some of the most anticipated video games this year, such as Doom 3, HALO 2 and Half-Life 2, take full advantage these cards and I wanted to show my readers exactly how easily it could be done in a straightforward manner.”

“Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists” has been on sale since May 2004 and is still selling strong, having received several strong reviews such as:

“As an artists I am amazed that nobody had yet considered writing a book on real-time shaders that could appeal to artists. …this book does a great job at going through a multitude of techniques in an easy to understand way. Plus, the use of RenderMonkey as an edit tool makes the task so much easier!”

“I have to admit this is a great book on the topic of shaders and real-time graphics. The plus of this book is that by avoiding the use of a specific API or speeding time explaining the use of such API, most of the book is spent explaining several techniques ranging from screen effects to advanced lighting techniques such as spherical harmonics.”

“Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists” is on sale at online at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592000924 and can also be found in bookstores around the world including; Borders, Barnes & Noble and several other retailers worldwide. In addition, this book can be purchased in electronic form (PDF Format) at http://www.courseptr.com

America’s Vacation Center / American Express Accomplishes Industry First – Booking A Cruise from 30,000 Feet

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) May 5, 2006

America’s Vacation Center / American Express (AVC) continued to break new ground last week, when agency co-president Brad Anderson booked a Royal Caribbean cruise while on a commercial flight.

Using America’s Vacation Center’s exclusive Agent Power(TM) software and the satellite Internet connection on the Lufthansa 747 airplane, Anderson successfully booked a deluxe balcony cabin aboard the Freedom of the Seas.

“Our software covers everything from availability and booking to customer relationship management and commission tracking. It’s the ultimate testament to AVC agents’ freedom,” said Anderson. “We’ve had a number of agents make bookings and speak with clients from cruise ship web lounges, so AVC is now able to book travel from land, sea, and air!”

Anderson was on his way back to the United States from Norway, where he was one of 9 travel agents invited to join Royal Caribbean executives as they took delivery of the line’s newest ship, Freedom of the Seas.

While at an altitude of approximately 30,000 feet, and somewhere over Greenland, Anderson used his laptop to access AVC’s live inventory of cruise availability and book the cabin. Among the options Anderson had at his fingertips were the ability to select dining, change bed configurations, add insurance, and make a deposit.

Imagine being able to earn commission while aboard a cruise or while flying at 30,000 feet,” said Anderson. “AVC agents have that kind of freedom — the freedom to work wherever, whenever, earning the highest commissions in the industry!”

America’s Vacation Center is familiar with setting the pace for travel agencies. As one of the most successful travel agencies in the American Express Representative Network, America’s Vacation Center was a pioneer in the host agency business, being the first agency to provide home-based independent contractors with Live Leads(TM) — live, incoming cruise and vacation requests sent directly to agents over the phone and Internet. America’s Vacation Center was also recently named the recipient of the American Express Travel Representative Excellence award for 2005 and has been inducted into the American Express Travel Worldwide Hall of Fame, an honor given to only one agency a year.

Travel agents interested in learning how they can get access to Agent Power and the ability to book travel from home, while at sea, or in the air should call 866-520-2133 or visit http://www.JoinAVC.com. Customers interested in booking their next trip with America’s Vacation Center should call 800-646-4319 or visit http://www.AmericasVacationCenter.com.

How Do You Coordinate to Get All the TVR Enthusiasts in One Place? and Keep Them Happy

(PRWEB) October 5, 2006

The TVR Car Club is the club for everyone interested in the TVR marque world-wide. With over 7000 members it is run only through the enthusiasm of those same members, so when the Scottish contingent of the TVR Car Club decided to hold their 2007 annual gathering in Scotland the question that was immediately posed was “How do you coordinate to get all the TVR enthusiasts in one place?”

Organising the event, known at the “TVR Celtic Gathering 2007”, starts with who is coming, but quickly moves to the style of accommodation they desire, single room or double room, do they want a seaview or a four poster bed and do they have any special requirements. There are also breakout events, as part of the whole event, that need to be managed such as “go-karting”. All of the requirements have to be offered, collected, and confirmed on strictly a first come first served basis simultaneously throughout the membership.

During the summer of 2006, the TVR Club Celtic Gathering 2007 organising committee were lamenting the task ahead of them, in the knowledge that any mistakes or problems really should be avoided as the members, who are based all over the country, really look forward to this annual event. A review of how technology and the internet could help the club with this task faltered, as in many cases the cost was prohibitive for the club and there were concerns that although many members could detail the inner workings of the TVR engine there was unfortunately not extensive knowledge in the membership on how to build on-line booking systems.

“Trying to organise a weekend away, on a first come first served basis, for a subset of the TVR Car Club’s membership” stated Adrian Milne, Organising Committee, TVR Celtic Gathering 2007, “was more than a little daunting”.

The Organising Committee for the TVR Celtic Gathering 2007 signed up for a free trial of an ibooka online booking system and asked the ibooka company to configure the system for them, help set up the available accommodation and events and as the system is hosted by ibooka, there was no need to worry about writing webpages, backups or buying any new computers or software. A link was added to the main TVR Car Club website and members were informed that booking for the Celtic Gathering 2007 was open. “it was amazing, it did not cost us anything and simply took away all the booking problems” said Mr Milne.

Since the TVR Car Club Celtic Gathering 2007 ibooka system went live members have been able to use the system to check the availability of accommodation, book their required rooms, request special requirements and decide if they want to sign up for special events like “go karting”, they have done this online from wherever they are in world, 24 hours a day/7 days a week and it is only costing the TVR Car Club 25p per booking (which is less than the cost of all of the telephone calls that used to go to and from people to arrange the bookings on past events). Mr Milne continued “it was so easy, I went from wondering if I had bitten off more than I could chew with organising the event to having a robust simple and easy way for the members to organise themselves. I receive an email whenever a member makes a booking (as they do) and the whole thing is working like clockwork.”

Businesses, Clubs and associations, large and small, are now benefiting from the unique ibooka “pennies per booking” pricing scheme that means the only costs are a few pennies for each actual booking with no other costs. The lack of monthly fees, software licenses, maintenance and support fees, etc means that at the TVR Car Clubs annual gathering in Scotland next year the conversation will be mainly about TVR cars and not about the problems they had in getting the weekend organised.

Mr Milne concluded with “I would certainly recommend ibooka to anyone organising an event of any kind. Ibooka made it so very easy for me and it is nice, if unusual, these days to find a company and system that do exactly what they promise to do for you without any fuss or problems”. Further information about ibooka may be found at http://www.ibooka.com or ibooka can be contacted via e-mail.

Oxygen Phone Manager – The Valuable Complement to Vertu Handsets

(PRWEB) June 20, 2006

Oxygen Software LLC announces today the release of a special edition of Oxygen Phone Manager II for Vertu handsets. The same expert team that engineered forensic software for the Metropolitan Police of London now offers their experience and knowledge in the new masterpiece of software development. Oxygen Phone Manager serves the dual purpose of protecting and managing the contents of Vertu handsets. The program makes personal contents and settings of a phone accessible and manageable from PC. Now, the owner of Vertu Signature or Vertu Ascent will not only be able to replicate personal contents and settings to a hard drive, but also manage contacts and schedule events, upload multimedia files and tune up the handset directly from the PC keyboard. Oxygen Phone Manager complements the performance of the elegant jeweled handsets with unparallel freedom and security.

Commenting on the program’s release, Nike Golubev, Public Relations Officer for Oxygen Software LLC said, “Oxygen Phone Manager II has a history of improvements that allows it to claim the superior position in its class.

Oxygen Phone Manager II supports a wide range of handset models by different producers, including smartphones. It automatically identifies the model and converts data to a compatible format. Oxygen Phone Manager makes certain that the personal contents of a handset are safeguarded and recoverable at any time.

Wireless connectivity via a Bluetooth or infrared port imparts the unlimited freedom of movement. A unique ad-hoc editing system allows accessing the handset’s memory and managing virtually every setting from the computer keyboard. While synchronizing the data with personal information managers like MS Outlook or Lotus Notes, it is possible to select only specific entries to be synchronized. Oxygen Phone Manager II is comfort in every stroke. It is the best complement to the performance of Vertu handsets.

Inspiration Software Honored for Contributions to Education Technology

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 19, 2007

Inspiration Software® was named winner of the 2007 EdNET Impact Award, honoring the company’s significant impact on education through quality educational support and instructional resources, at the 19th Annual Educational Networking Conference held recently in Chicago. The Impact Award is part of the EdNET Industry Awards program that honors organizations that have made important contributions to the education technology market.

Inspiration Software is the only organization to have been honored three times in the 15-year history of the EdNET Industry Awards program. In 2001, the company received the Pioneer Award for contributing most significantly to the growth of the market and, in 2000, won a HERO Award for having a positive impact on education through technology.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Inspiration Software has been under the continuous leadership of its co-founders, Donald Helfgott and Mona Westhaver. The privately held company is recognized as the leader in visual thinking and learning. The company’s award-winning software products, Inspiration®, Kidspiration® and InspireData™, are based on proven visual learning methodologies. With the powerful combination of visual learning and technology, students in grades K-12 learn to clarify thoughts, organize and analyze information, integrate new knowledge and think critically.

“We have spent a quarter century committed to developing visual learning software tools that will help students build the thinking skills necessary to achieve at the highest levels and to become successful, contributing members of 21st century society,” said Mona Westhaver, president and co-founder, Inspiration Software. “Our success is a tribute to the talented, creative educators around the world who use visual learning instructional strategies with their students every day. We are proud to celebrate our silver anniversary with this prestigious honor from our colleagues in the education technology industry.”

In recognizing Inspiration Software, the judges said the company is “definitely unique in the industry.” They called its products “wonderful tools to help students think logically and creatively.” Further, they said the lesson plan books, guides and resources that complement Inspiration Software’s visual learning software “support teachers as inspiration for student learning.” They concluded, “The skills that students acquire this way will last a lifetime.”

A panel of leading education industry experts selected the finalists for the EdNET 2007 Industry Awards, which is sponsored by The Heller Reports and Quality Education Data (QED), a Scholastic company. This year’s award program’s industry lead sponsor was Texas Instruments, supporting sponsor was Words & Numbers, and the program was coordinated by Educational Systemics.
