Tristan Ward

The Captivate Hacker

Tristan has made a career out of writing code that makes Captivate beg for mercy. He's created dozens of widgets and is the head developer of the most powerful Captivate extension ever - CpExtra.

JavaScript Programmer

Tristan's programming experience is not limited to Captivate. He in comfortable with a wide variety of modern Javascript technologies such as Node, Gulp and Ramda.

Bio

Tristan is Rod’s son and Infosemantics’ resident programming expert in JavaScript and HTML5.  He started programming at just 15 years of age and within a year had programmed our first SWF widget for Adobe Captivate using the ActionScript programming language.  Over the next few years he went on to program ten different SWF widgets that came to be used by e-learning developers all around the world.

More recently, with the decline of SWF and Flash, he turned his attention to HTML5 and JavaScript.  The result is the now famous CpExtra HTML5 widget.  This single JavaScript plugin for Adobe Captivate not only replaces many of Tristan’s previous SWF widgets but adds scores of other features and bug fixes to the application as well.  

Tristan is also a power user of Adobe Animate and uses it to build many of the 2D animations and interactive components included in our mobile-friendly Captivate e-learning courses.

And if that wasn’t enough, Tristan has also learned to read, write and speak fluent Mandarin Chinese! 

Tristan’s hourly consulting time rate is: $97.50 USD.
