pc video and screenshot - camtasia is good but Jing is free

Posted Fri, 01/23/2009 - 10:52

I've used CAMTASIA for a while and it's a great tool for recording screen demo's, snaffling screen shots and recording nice youtube style screen scrapes of things your doing.

But wait! if you dont want to pay (and who does?) for the full product you can download Techsmiths excellent application called Jing, which is basically a Camtasia Lite, from here:

I use it for various short tutorials and screen shots of everything from technical setup instructions to simple in instructions to my mother-in-law on how to setup her email.

Opensource Essentials for the Apple Mac

Roughly ten years ago the terms freeware and free software were regularly used for software that was free to install but then frequently had an annual license, or renewal fee after a certain number of uses. Over recent years the Open Source community has really started to thrive.

Why is Open source so popular? "Open Source" refers to software where the source code is available to the public for use free of charge, i.e., open. Open source code is typically created as a collaborative effort in which programmers improve upon the code and share the changes within the community. Free and open-source software is good for you and good for the world.

Free Software for everybody

Open Source Software is a fantastic concept bringing the advantages of *free* software to all internet users. The amazing thing this is -millions of internet users dont know it exists....
