New! Downloadable tutorial with audio and animation.
The Active Channel™ Tutorial will help you get started with channels and Dynamic HTML. The tutorial provides a jump start to understanding Channel Definition Format (CDF) files. You'll learn about the elements that make up a CDF file, how a CDF file describes your channel's contents, and how to use a CDF file for scheduled updates, screen savers, desktop components, and more.
You'll also get a complete introduction to Dynamic HTML, which enables faster, more interactive Web pages so you can deliver more fun and excitement to your users. You'll learn about the key features of Dynamic HTML and how to incorporate it into your scripts, and see working examples of Web page enhancements built with Dynamic HTML.
There are three versions of the Active Channel Tutorial -- a small (807K) downloadable version, a large (10 MB) downloadable version complete with audio and animation, and a sample channel that you can run on your Active Desktop™.

To install the small downloadable version, download actutorial.zip to an empty folder on your hard drive. Unzip it, being sure to preserve folders when you do so (use the -D option with PKUNZIP, or check "Use folder names" when using WinZip).
