Upcoming Events

DocTrain West, Vancouver, Canada, 6 - 9 May 2008

The theme of the 2nd Annual Documentation & Training West Conference is Web 2.0 and Its Impact on Communication.

Joe Gollner, Stilo's VP, e-Publishing solutions, will be presenting several different papers at the conference, beginning, on May 6, with his ever-popular Content Engineering Workshop.

On the morning of May 7, Joe talks about XML in the Wilderness, and how Web 2.0 innovations are taking XML back to its roots as a language for designing content and the associated processing applications. Later in the day, Joe's theme is Putting Everything Back Together Again: Delivering Effective Information Products. He will review the demands that must be met if modularized content is to be assembled, resolved, compiled and rendered into the types of information products that people rightfully expect.

Joe is back on on May 8, with Extreme Content Makeover: Migrating Content to DITA. A successful migration of content to DITA can be a harrowing experience, but past experiences have shown that success is fully achievable and that what may seem to be an insurmountable mountain of legacy content can become the most durable part of a successful renovation project.

This presentation introduced some of the key tools and techniques that should be considered.
