Globalization is a critical issue for any company interested in expanding its markets. For the company that markets sophisticated products, globalization is both more difficult and more critical because of the rich content that is needed to support these products.

Michael Priestley, one of IBM's DITA Architects, provides an introduction to DITA, followed by an introduction to some authoring best practices with DITA, and finishing with an end-to-end example of task-based information architecture using DITA maps.

The DITA Pocket Guide is a clear and concise overview of DITA basics in a compact 50-page format.  From topics to maps, from elements and attributes to specialization, it's an indispensable quick reference for beginner and practitioner alike.  The DITA Pocket Guide is packed with valuable information and available free of charge.
