[oXygen-user] DITA workshops using oXygen XML Editor

[George Bina]

Hi all,

Comtech Services, the company that organizes the DITA North America and 
DITA Europe conferences organizes also a number of DITA workshops and 
they use oXygen XML Editor to complete the different exercises, so these 
workshops may be a good opportunity to learn DITA and the oXygen DITA 
functionality.

Here it is a description from Comtech Services of available workshops:

***
DITA Getting Started: July 21-22 in Wakefield, MA
This workshop is designed as an introduction to Darwin Information 
Typing Architecture (DITA). During the workshop you will learn to design 
and create information using a topic/task-based structured-authoring 
approach. You will also learn how to use XML markup with DITA elements 
and the importance of the DITA elements to information development.

Optimizing the DITA Authoring Experience: July 23-24 in Wakefield, MA
In this workshop, you are guided through the process of customizing your 
authoring environment using each of the following technologies: shells, 
specializations, constraints, templates, subject scheme maps, and 
publishing scenarios. With ample time for applying what you have 
learned, you will leave the workshop with the necessary tools to 
optimize the authoring experience for your authoring team.

Advanced Publishing for DITA: August 3-7 in San Jose, CA
In this workshop, attendees are provided a walk-through of the essential 
DITA fundamentals, programming skills, and DITA Open Toolkit 
configurations required to assemble, style, and publish DITA XML source. 
After a brief overview of the DITA framework, course lectures and 
exercises will focus on the key pieces of a DITA publishing 
architecture, how to set it up, and how to optimize its publishing 
capabilities using customizations and plug-ins. Attendees will learn to 
set up a publishing architecture using the pipeline provided by the 
DITA-OT and learn how to configure and debug the DITA-OT.
