Core Keynote '08

Mar 31, 2009

An excellent program. Easy to follow, and lets you get started right away. It is somewhat tiresome to go through all of the ways you can access a program/feature, but I know it is necessary because everyone has different preferences for doing this. I will definately look at buying other programs wen I have mastered Keynote.

I've enjoyed using the tutorial. I was hoping to have a more in-depth look at using the various tools (builds, etc.) available; however, I realize this tutorial is designed to be more general. Nonetheless, it is a good resource.
