WORKSHOP: Attend the new "FrameMaker and XML: Advanced Techniques
workshop on February 15th
Wrestling with DTD and EDD setup? Hear how to do things right and
troubleshoot when things go wrong... Struggling with your FrameMaker
structured application? Find out how the application works and how to
troubleshoot error messages... Wrestling with read/write rules? Learn
about the many things you can -- and cannot -- do with read/write rules,
and how automate creation by writing structured read/write rules.
Bright Path Solutions and Text Structure Consulting, Inc. are pleased to
present a workshop on strategies for building effective document
publishing environments in structured FrameMaker. Unlike a course that
teaches FrameMaker's native XML capabilities, this workshop focuses on
PRACTICAL matters such as which features to use in particular
situations. You are encouraged to bring your own FrameMaker XML
applications and apply the learned techniques during the seminar. You
will have the opportunity to ask questions about your application.
Workshop Title: FrameMaker and XML: Advanced Techniques
Student Fee: $259.00
Instructor: Lynne A. Price
Date/Location: February 15, 2005 in Research Triangle Park, NC USA
(A second workshop is being scheduled for April in the Northern
California area.)
SEATING IS LIMITED.
You are encouraged to sign up right away to avoid missing this unique
