We’re excited to announce that PDX DITA member, information architect, content strategist, Portland State instructor, and general bon vivant Toni Mantych will be teaching a two-day workshop called DITA for Authors on May 9 and 10th, 2014. The workshop is focused on authoring skills, and is aimed at people who already understand the importance of DITA and its value proposition, but don’t yet have extensive hands-on experience in the authoring medium. It will cover basic authoring knowledge like topic types and element use, but also will get into conditional filtering, keyrefs and conrefs and how to get the most value out of your content. Sounds extremely useful!
