The DDL Wizard Online Tutorials

The DDL Wizard tutorials are interactive "movies" which show you how to use the DDL Wizard software. Viewing a tutorial is like sitting with an instructor - you see the mouse move and the buttons press and each step is explained in detail as you progress through the tutorial.

The tutorials are entirely Java or Flash based - no plugins are required! All you need is a reasonably recent Internet Explorer or Netscape browser. The tutorials can be viewed online by clicking on the links below or, if desired, downloaded and viewed offline.

The tutorials are quite small given the complexity of what they do. However, they are each several hundred Kb in size. If you do view them online you might experience a short delay while they get started - we appreciate your patience.
