Hawaii
to London: Upcoming Conferences
|
|
Sarah O'Keefe is a speaker at LavaCon
2006 in Lihue, Hawaii, on October 1–4. Sarah will be leading
a hands-on afternoon workshop on XSL, so bring a laptop. Sarah is
also busily at work on another, more fun-oriented presentation.
We can't tell you any of the details yet, but she has been heard
muttering "Book
of Kells" around the office. What does that have to do
with technical documentation? Join us in Hawaii to find out. For
an overview of the conference offerings, check out the draft
conference program (PDF format).
If Hawaii isn't your cup of tea, perhaps London will do? The STC
Region 2 Conference is scheduled for October 13–14. The
list of speakers looks great, and we hear from our British friends
that the hotel location is convenient to the London sights. Sarah
will be presenting on creating a business case for implementing
an XML-based structured authoring environment.

TrackAccess webcasts offer you
conference-quality presentations at the comfort of your own desk.
The webcast schedule for the coming months is as follows:
Each webcast is only $19.95. Register

ask questions. To participate, you need a web browser with Flash

Upcoming
Training Schedule

In the coming months, we've
scheduled training for unstructured and structured FrameMaker, XML,
XSL, InDesign, and Photoshop.
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.
For more information about online or classroom training, contact
training@scriptorium.com.

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.
