For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Hey, I've got a free webinar coming up that you may want to sign up
for. It's "Planning Topic-based Authoring: Working in a Use Case or
Scenario-based Environment." I'm going to be talking about how to do
topic and project planning when you're working with use-case-based
development. The seminar is on April 9 at 9am (Pacific). It's
through MadCap, who I'm very pleased with for doing all of these free
webinars on topics of general interest.
>>No money is changing hands--I'm doing this purely pro bono publico
and you can get this all for free, too. My presentation isn't
tools-dependent, either: this is not some kind of pitch for MadCap
products or anything like that. I can spell Flare 2 outa 3 times,
but that's currently the limit of my product knowledge.<<
BTW, if you're not familiar with topic based authoring, let me
encourage you to sign up for the MadCap presentation tomorrow, Jan
15: "Topic-based Authoring: Doing more with less," which is also
tools-independent from my understanding. I think the idea is cool
because you get a better user-oriented document at the end that was
MUCH EASIER TO ESTIMATE ACCURATELY! :)
