Hallo:
FrameMaker and RoboHelp are a pretty inefficient combo, IMHO, although you
are a new cog in the mechanism and there's probably a pretty efficient
system set up to make these tools play together.
I recommend training with all tools, after a couple of months teaching
yourself--that way, the class is more relevant and meaningful. Thus, I'd
also recommend formal FrameMaker training (checkout http://www.intech.com).

I've been a tech writer for all of 1 1/2 months,

In the new year, I'll be expected to start using RoboHelp. How would
you
suggest I start learning it--play with it for a few weeks, then
attend a
class?

(I've picked up FrameMaker pretty well
in my short time so far).

For those of you in the Boston area, have you attended RoboHelp
classes? If
so, which would you recommend/not recommend?
