Your
Choice: Web- or Classroom-Based Training
|
|
In the coming months, we've got a full schedule for both web- and
classroom-based training. Our web-based training lets you eliminate
travel costs while still getting many of the benefits of our instructor-led
training: small class size, the opportunity to ask questions, and
a challenging curriculum that engages you.
Here's what a recent attendee had to say about our online Advanced
Structured FrameMaker 7: Building EDDs class:
I've been wanting to learn this [information] for years....I
also liked the convenience/accessibility, and the fact that it
was in small chunks, allowing me to also get work done that day.
For more information
about online or classroom training, contact training@scriptorium.com.

You can review our complete
2006 schedule and register
for classes in our online store.
For those who prefer to learn FrameMaker at their own pace, we
also offer our FrameMaker
7 Workbook Series. You can download the workbooks from our online
store for $49.95 each. You get the workbook in PDF format, exercise
files, and access to video clips that explain the FrameMaker interface.

STC
Conference Wrap Up
|
|
Sarah O'Keefe just got back from the STC
conference in Las Vegas. If you didn't get a chance to attend
her presentations on structured authoring, DITA, and InDesign, you
can download PDF versions of the handouts:
Shortly after the DITA presentation, Sarah sat down with Scott
Prentice (www.leximation.com)
to see a demo of his DITA solution for FrameMaker. Scott has not
yet released his application, but it provides an elegant solution
for topic maps and conrefs. Sarah thinks the application will become
the standard for FrameMaker-based DITA publishing.
Read our blog
for other highlights (and moments better forgotten) from Sarah's
trip.
