TRAINING: Need to Document APIs and SDKs? You can get started now.

Documenting APIs isn't easy but learning how is a great way to enhance
your tech writing skills. Our "Workshop-on-a-DVD", featuring well
known tech writing guru Manuel Gordon, can get you started now.

You will learn:
- What are SDKs? Why sell them? Why buy them?
- How to structure the documentation set for an SDK
- What programmers really want: A real-world case study
- How to outline a Developer's Guide
- How to automatically generate a Reference Manual using DGP tools
- Strategies for going forward and additional resources
- And much more

Here is what one recent customer had to say:
"I bought this DVD set and found it very useful. There is a lot of
informationabout how programmers think and what they expect and like,
in addition to more detailed information on the subject of APIs and
SDKs. I also found the outline for a developer's guide very helpful."

STORY: SnagIt's Printer Capture

~~~~~~~~~~

Dan the technical writer sat surrounded by paper. He listlessly wondered
if there was a way to clean his office, organize his files, and clear his
head.

Suddenly, something in SnagIt - the leading screen capture software -
caught his eye. Printer Capture.

Squinting, he pulled up some information and learned that SnagIt's Printer
Capture allowed him to print any document to SnagIt's virtual printer and
save that output as a graphic file. SnagIt saved the content exactly as it
would print.

"Since you possess an electronic version of your information, you can
eliminate the hassles of paper and filing!" Dan whispered in wonder.

This also meant that he could ... get an accurate print preview - without
printing. Print anywhere without being connected to a printer. And create
a virus-free version of a document - even if the original had a virus!

Dan happily spent the rest of the day using SnagIt's Printer Capture and
throwing away his paper clutter.

"They say a clean office is the sign of an unclean mind ..." Dan said. "I
say it's a sign you're using SnagIt's Printer Capture."
