Programming Arts CD ROM

CD ROMs are a great way to give prospective clients on-the-spot access to your product, avoiding the uncertainty of slow connections and the resulting tedious downloads. Using tools such as Macromedia's Director application and Installers such as Vise and Wise, we've built dozens of CD-ROMs for many applications, including Educational, Marketing, Product Presentation, and Music CD Extras.

Programming Arts has developed and produced many interactive, educational titles. We understand the unique design and implementation challenges associated with building educational CD ROMs. Interfaces must be intuitive and easy to use, and the content must be age-appropriate. Most importantly … it's got to be fun.

Focused Learning in Austin, TX recently selected Programming Arts to design and build a prototype of their interactive children's learning adventure "The Case of the Missing Millie". For PCI of San Antonio, TX we built three life-skills educational titles for mentally-handicapped adults: "Where Does My Money Go?", "Menu Math", and "Deluxe Banking"

Programming Arts founder David Faloon programmed and produced the Schoolhouse Rock CD-ROMs, available nationally from Creative Wonders.

Not everyone has a high-bandwidth Internet connection. When you need to reach your customers with a guaranteed high-impact message, the CD ROM is still the best way to go. Unlike the Internet, the CD ROM has no bandwidth or download considerations. All your data and information is right there … streaming your message to your customer's monitors and speakers.

In the summer of 2000, Handtech.com chose Programming Arts to build its "Learn@Hand" CD ROM. We also built the "Control Desktop Demo" for Fisher-Rosemount Systems in the summer of 1998.

Quick and cost efficient, online training has become the preferred method for corporate training programs. Programming Arts understands this approach, we've created many Flash- and Shock Wave-based training modules for Austin companies.

In the spring of 1999 Programming Arts was hired by All.com to build a Flash-based training module for their remote service technicians (Training 101). During the summer of 1998, we were sub-contracted by Human Code to build a series of Shockwave-based tasklets designed to transition welfare recipients to tech jobs.

We've designed, programmed, and mastered a number of Enhanced CDs or CD Extras. These are audio CDs that contain an extra multimedia track that can only be viewed on a computer. Artists we've worked with include Austin rockers Vallejo and Kissinger.
