Single Sourcing Made Easy
from Miscellaneous Group
This event has passed.
Monday, October 13, 2008, 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Single sourcing has gotten hot in the last year, but it's actually existed since 1991 when Doc-To-Help first let us create Word documents and re-use them as Windows Help systems. But despite existing for 17 years, there's still a lot of confusion about single sourcing. What is it? (And what's multi-channel publishing?) Does it demand exotic and expensive authoring tools and XML? How hard is it to create? Maintain?
This presentation will answer these questions in order to demystify single sourcing and show how it can typically be done with the tools and skills that most technical communicators have now.
