The JoAnn Hackos Workshop Series announces the DITA Boot Camp workshop in Austin, TX, December 5-9, 2011, taught by JoAnn Hackos and Frank Miller.

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.

This workshop is a mix of conceptual and hands-on: students are asked to understand the framework and best practices, then perform exercises to practically apply and reinforce the learnings. 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.
