FrameMaker 7 and XML Training in 2005

 

For those of you who are already planning your 2005 training budgets, we've posted our training schedule for next year. We will continue to offer the range of classes for unstructured and structured FrameMaker 7 along with XML training focused on publishing.

If you're considering the transition to XML and structured authoring, our courses offer guidance on planning and implementation. It's not too early to start planning for 2005 now.

Scriptorium Publishing plans to participate in the following conferences in 2005:

At these conferences, we'll be giving presentations, offering DocFrame solution demos (and chocolates) at our booth, or a combination of both. We hope to see you sometime in 2005 at these events!

 

   

Get Free Help with Structure Implementation, XML, and FrameMaker/XML Integration

 

Implementing an XML-based structured authoring workflow is not a trivial matter. It's easy to feel overwhelmed early in a project when you're asked to evaluate the benefits of such a workflow and to justify the investment of time and money. Scriptorium Publishing's free white papers in PDF format can help you with those efforts. Our papers offer clear, detailed information about structured authoring, XML, and integrating FrameMaker 7 with an XML-based workflow.

We've made it easy to get all four papers on XML and structured authoring (a total of 85 pages) by putting them in one zip file (2.5 MB) for a single download. Thousands of technical communicators from around the world have already downloaded the papers, and we welcome your feedback on them.
