Take care,

I am very happy to finally publish another lesson of my regular screencast series on technologies that are useful for teaching and learning. In recent lessons I covered applications like FotoMagico, DEVONthink or Crossword Forge among others as well as web services like LEO, the online dictionary.

In this lesson I am going to explain how to build efficient queries with DEVONagent, the intelligent search agent by DEVONtechnologies. In addition to that, I'll also take a look at how to use DEVONthink as an RSS-Reader.

If you want to download the applications, go to DEVONtechnologies products page.
You can find an overall introduction to DEVONagent at the DEVONacademy. I recommend you to watch this tutorial first if you have never heard of DEVONagent before.

In this episode I introduce you to FotoMagico, the powerful slideshow creation application.
FotoMagico is an easy-to-use application that allows you to create stunning slideshows to be displayed on almost any device imaginable. It's ease of use is rivaled only by Apple's iLife apps and yet it is far more powerful than those. It comes with complete iLife integration and cinema quality transitions.

I tried a different approach to screencasting in this episode: I wrote the complete script and read it into the microphone. After that I recorded and cut the video and matched those clips to the audio track. In previous lessons I spoke freely and didn't have a detailed script. Both methods have their pros and cons. Reading a complete script leads to more concise and elegant language but might be a bit fast and sterile. On the other hand, improvising the commentary and speaking freely slows down the tutorial's pace and sounds more personal as well as lively but will surely lead to more Uhms and Ahhs and even a few minor language flaws.
Which way do you prefer? Please join the forum and tell me what you think of this show. I'd really appreciate your feedback on that question.

In this episode I showcase Crossword Forge, an application designed to create crossword and word search puzzles for both, print and web. I'll show you how easy this application is to master and how you can create visually appealing documents in no time.

Known issues:
There are some minor flaws in this show. None of them is a showstopper, so I chose to publish the show anyway:
– Minor language flaws: If you find them: Please ignore them. If not: Never mind. ;-)
– A nasty typo in the outro - it should be conjunction instead of conjuntion.
– The sound quality has been improved considerably compared to the previous show, it is not perfect yet. The volume changes slightly from time to time.

– Minor artifacts while recording. I am not quite sure why they are there, since they don't show up in the source clips I recorded with SnapZ Pro. Maybe Final Cut Pro has some compatibility issues with those source clips' format. I definitely have to look at this for the next show.
