This personal web site was created in January 2026. Since SumTotal Systems is no longer making any ToolBook information or resources available, I decided I should.

ToolBook

Back in 1996, I began working for Asymetrix. The company may have changed names a few times along the way [click2learn, SumTotal Systems] and various products did come and go, but ToolBook stayed. I spent the next 25 years supporting it - eventually working on the development team to assist in adding features to ToolBook until it was officially retired in 2021.

I was obsessed with all things ToolBook, went to all the ToolBook conferences as a presenter, and even wrote a few of my own books about ToolBook. Anyone who has ever called ToolBook Technical Support over those years will surely remember me.

In early 2021, I left the company, which was about 6 months before ToolBook was officially retired.

The Knowledge Base contains links for downloading ToolBook, various Patches, Neuron, the Runtime, LiveXtensions and many other useful resources. Over 95% of all the articles in the ToolBook Knowledge Base were written by me. SumTotal Systems pulled access to the Knowledge Base in 2021 but it is still available here, hosted by me.

This is the first book I wrote, essentially an OpenScript programming guide - written back in 2003. Originally available in Print form, it is now a PDF file.

Next I created a ToolBook catalog reference book also in 2003. Originally available in Print form, it is now a PDF file.
