| Overview: | The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information. DITA is one of the emerging trends in technical communication and XML. Be prepared and learn how to use DITA! During this hands-on workshop, learn to create DITA-compliant XML content using a variety of authoring tools. Topics created during the workshop will be added to a finished publication, formatted, and published in a variety of forms, including PDFs, help files, and Web pages. All files created during the workshop will be provided to workshop participants as take-aways. Attendees will be able to use the files to build their own content after the workshop is over. Demonstration versions of XMetaL and FrameMaker 8.0 will be installed on Compuware machines specifically for the workshop. |
