The JoAnn Hackos Workshop Series announces the DITA Boot Camp workshop in Waltham, MA October 24-28, 2011, taught by Bill Gearhart and Hal Trent.

The DITA Boot Camp covers the concepts needed to move to DITA successfully. The Boot Camp takes you from the DITA Basics to the skills you'll need to create a specific Information Model for your organization and your content. In this workshop, you learn about structured writing, information modeling, minimalism, business-process change, and DITA authoring, publishing, and implementation. Learn the structures of the core DITA specialized information types: task, concept, and reference.

The Boot Camp requires that you bring a laptop computer and sample documents to complete exercises. Be prepared to learn to use an XML editor to author topics.
