Today, Wolfram is officially launching the Computable Document Format (CDF)--a new public standard merging the simplicity of documents and interactivity of apps into a single, computation-powered knowledge container that empowers readers to drive content and generate results live. CDF is an evolution of the notebook (.nb) and is the new standard for sharing Mathematica output--broadening accessibility of the Wolfram platform. Simply save interactive papers, reports, presentations, infographics, and knowledge applications as CDFs in Mathematica 8 and the free Wolfram CDF Player lets anyone interact with your content directly in a web browser. Watch a brief video introduction of CDF: http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/screencasts/cdf_intro See how easy it is to create CDFs in Mathematica 8: http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/screencasts/creating-a-knowledge-app-in-60-seconds CDF technology is already being used in some of today's most popular interactive publications, including Pearson Education's award-winning Calculus textbook by William L. Briggs and Lyle Cochran. Start exploring the possibilities of CDF in Mathematica 8 and let us know how you have used it.
