DITA Quick Start

Eliot Kimber (Really Strategies, Inc.)
XML Training Suffolk
Presentation: DITA Quick Start Presentation [ODP]

Provides a quick start introduction to the DITA specification with a focus on how to create and process DITA-based content as well as key DITA concepts including modular writing, re-use, linking using maps and relationship tables, and specialization. At the end of the class students will be prepared to evaluate the applicability of DITA to their own documentation and publishing requirements and start experimenting with the authoring and production of DITA-based content using any XML editor and the DITA Open Toolkit.
