Greetings,
Currently I use ToolBook 6.5 for CBT development. There is a general sense
of discontent among many ToolBook users related to it's web capabilities and
the direction Asymetrix (Click2Learn) is taking. Our list serve has a lot of
activity on it and recently a thread about Metacard appeared. I think there
are a few other ToolBookers monitoring your list now to see what all of you
have to say about Metacard.
I am interested in learning more about Metacard's Internet capabilities.
What kind of real world experience all of you are having with it? There is
so much hype these days regarding many products capabilities, but often in a
real world setting, things are not as peachy as the hype would have it be.
Would any of you be willing to elaborate on web based projects as far as the
pros and cons of Metacard for such projects? I am interested in knowing such
things as:
-Does your scripting language get converted to Java or some other native
language that will run in current browsers?
-Is the Metacard company responsive to your concerns and requests?
-How stable is Metacard in the development mode?
-Does it have a large overhead for CD distribution?
-Is converting from PC to Mac, UNIX etc...reliable and easy?
I hope this is not an inappropriate request, but who better to ask than the
people actually using the product in the field.
Thanks
