DITA 101: Introduction to Structured Authoring and DITA

DITA, the Darwin Information Typing Architecture, is the new buzzword in technical communication.  But why?  Find out in this free webinar co-hosted by the STC-Phoenix and STC Alberta chapters on Tuesday, March 9th.

You’ll learn about:

  •  DITA concepts
  •  the business case
  •  typical scenarios where DITA is used

Our featured speaker, Sarah O’Keefe, will sort it all out for you in her “mostly-buzzword-free” presentation. Then, you can evaluate for yourself whether DITA makes sense for your content.
