Remembering Josef Becker (4 July 1950 to 29 March 2006)
The Microsoft Help MVPs have learned that Josef Becker died suddenly
on 29 March 2006. Josef was well known in the Help authoring world for
his collection of Help utilities, now found online at http://www.helpmaster.info.
Josef wrote his first technical documentation in 1982. Ten years
later, he developed his first WinHelp system using pure Word. He was a
Microsoft Help MVP from 1999 to 2005.
In later years, Josef was the Managing Director of Becker & Poettgen
Software GmbH, a firm that specializes in developing computer-based
training, Web-based training, and hypertext-based training.
The Microsoft Help MVPs extend our deepest sympathies to his family.
