STC Southwestern Ontario Spring Workshop 2007
You've likely heard a lot about XML and may even know someone that has managed to author in Extensible Markup Language. But, do you really understand the true potential of the technology, or how to fit XML into your own authoring environment?
Sarah O'Keefe joins us in Cambridge from April 24-26th to guide us through the XML challenge. Working together with Sarah, the Southwestern Ontario chapter customized this workshop to provide something for those new to XML, as well as for those already using XML in their authoring environment.
