atw: ASTC workshop: Introduction to AuthorIT; Sat 2 Sep 06

Presenter, Colin Dawson. 

This is a practical one-day workshop, aimed at technical writers, that will 
enable you to leverage your skills with other help authoring tools in the 
structured environment of AuthorIT. No prior knowledge of AuthorIT is needed 
but participants should have experience with a help authoring tool.
AuthorIT software combines help authoring, content management and 
single-sourcing in one package. Sophisticated users can create custom 
templates, JavaScripts and Word macros, making it more open-ended than any 
other help authoring tool.
Colin Dawson has been teaching AuthorIT since 2001. He has developed many 
original solutions based on AuthorIT and has spoken about some of these at 
conferences in Australia and the US. With 25 years experience in technical 
communication, Colin has won a number of industry awards including STC 
international "Distinguished / Best in Show" in Seattle, 2005.
In this workshop, Colin will demonstrate how to create content, customise 
templates and use version control, with exercises for participants to practise 
these skills. 
Session 1) Getting started - create projects and use day-to-day features, 
including importing content from other sources. 
Session 2) Swimming in the deep-end - a demonstration of some interesting 
problems that have been solved through the use of AuthorIT. This will give you 
an idea of what can be achieved through customisation.
