Palimpsest

Beat the post-holiday blahs

Wednesday, December 03, 2008 — posted by Sarah O'Keefe

It's never too early to start thinking about fun things to do in February.

On Thursday, February 5, 2009, at 9 a.m. Pacific Time (noon Eastern time/5 p.m. London time/etc.), I'll be offering a webinar in conjunction with Madcap Software. Not sure this qualifies as "fun," but it's better than complaining about the weather, which is our major activity here in late winter.

DITA 101: Why the Buzz? DITA, the Darwin Information Typing Architecture, is the new buzzword in technical communication. But why? In this webinar, you'll learn about DITA concepts, business case, and typical scenarios where DITA is used.

You can then evaluate for yourself whether DITA makes sense for your content. Best of all, the webinar is free, which is the right price in this economic climate.

If you are not at all familiar with DITA and want some introductory information, join me for this session.

The webinar is free, but registration is required here.
