The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

My first interest in this text was to review it for a course we're developing on rapid development. The text itself is thorough and clearly written. The writing style is informal, comfortable to the eye and inner ear. Even though I've worked with Studio since 2005, I found myself muttering "I didn't know that" more than a few times. The author and manuscript reviewers obviously know their tool well and in depth.The color screenshots are clear, well placed, and very well explained in clear language; text offsets point out what's important, potential pitfalls, and the "why" of doing something a certain way.If you're looking for a good reference as a newbie to Studio, or if you're instructing newbies, this is a great place to start.They've done a great job on this book!

I really enjoyed this book, because is not only for articulate beginners, it also helps power point users.it's really helpful!

Helene Geiger, Prometheus Training Dec 20, 2012

This book is the perfect recipe for anyone getting started with Articulate Studio elearning software.The problem for most newbies is that elearning software can be overwhelming at first. You get so wrapped up in all the functionality that you lose sight of when or why you might use any particular function.The "Cookbook" helps you step back from the functionality and think about the big picture first. It doesn't overwhelm you with theory - but is explains clearly and simply, what your development process needs to be, and why.Then the book walks you through building a course, in small digestible chunks. It's all laid out logically and painlessly for you, by people who have clearly been there and understand the in's and out's of this software.The book holds your hand as you build a course in each of Studio's sub-programs individually: Articulate Presenter, Engage and Quizmaker. You'll quickly learn what each sub-program can do, and how to use each function.Then the book shows you how to combine elements created in Presenter, Engage and Quizmaker into a single elearning course. This is an important piece of the puzzle that is neglected in some of the other Studio training books.If you want to create elearning using Articulate Studio, this book will get you off to just the right start!

This book is a perfect starter for anyone interested in using Articulate Studio 09(and experienced users). Robert starts with the basics about the product and how it functions then gets into the design features with themes, templates fonts, and colors. He discusses the importance of slide masters(very). Once the design is set, he then takes the reader through all of the features in a very easy to read fashion. He goes through Presenter, Engage and Quizmaker with some step by step instructions and then explains how to combine these into a cohesive e-learning course. I highly recommend this book to both beginners to the software and advanced users who will undoubtedly find these spots in the book where you say "I didn't know that"

This is a great book for anyone that is new to the world of Articulate. For most e-learning developer, we do not read the manuals or there is not a good book to out there on the specific program. This book will help any newbie to the program and is a good desk reference for the experienced user. Robert takes you through each of the programs separately then brings them all together to show you how to build a course.Throughout the book Robert explains step by step on the process and then adds some tit-bits about additional information at the specific step. As an experienced Articulate user I am always looking for information on how to perform different steps or understand different functions within Articulate and I even learned a few interesting things with using YouTube and Vimeo from this book.Robert's book is easy to read and does not get bogged down in any technical mumbo jumbo, but gets to the points so you understand the programs.
