DITA Rockstar Summer Camp Webinar Series

Summer is here and what better time to learn more about DITA XML? 😉 Okay, maybe that’s not for everyone, but this series of webinars hosted by easyDITA look to be an interesting way to while away a lunchtime.

Unfortunately I came into this information a bit late (busy with work!), but there are a number of DITA-related webinars planned for the rest of the July through to September. Here’s a listing of the available webinars (including already-archived versions)

DITA and Content Strategy May 29, 2013 [Register to view archived recording]
Sarah O’Keefe, Scriptorium
Do you need a content strategy with DITA? Is DITA itself a strategy? What kind of train wreck can you expect if you move forward without a strategy? Can you have content strategy without a content management system? Join us as we explore these and other questions.

Converting legacy content to DITA – August 28, 2013

Dynamic Publishing in DITA – September 11, 2013
Joe Gelb, Suite Solutions
Many think that DITA publishing can’t match the quality of desktop publishing when it comes to complex formatting.
