This course will help managers and experienced professionals provide strategic leadership in their organizations to meet the needs of information management.

Focusing on Content: Making Web Sites Work for Users, presented by Janice (Ginny) Redish and Caroline Jarrett. This highly interactive workshop will help you develop Web documents that enable users to get what they need, when they need it, in just the right amount.
XML: From Hand-coding to WYSIWYG Authoring, presented by Neil Perlin. This course will help managers and developers decide whether they need XML, find the right XML authoring tool, and use Macromedia RoboHelp to generate XML.
