Interactive Doc. Training: Multimedia & 3D (Boston + SF Bay Area)
Shlomo Perets, http://www.microtype.com/Training.html

I am offering two new seminars (not FrameMaker-specific)
for the first time in the US:

USING MEDIA CLIPS TO ENHANCE DOCUMENTATION
     Boston, May 10  *  San Carlos, July 9
When providing electronic documentation (training, online help,
marketing materials), you can create much more than a PDF of the
printed version. Learn how to demonstrate processes and functions
with movie clips; how to plan, script and storyboard a movie
clip; how to record the workflow, edit the movie and add titles,
callouts and captions; and how to integrate the movie into the
documentation. The course also covers setup, output formats and
options, and available tools.

INTERACTIVE 3D MODELS IN PDFs
     Boston, May 11  * San Carlos, July 10
How to incorporate interactive 3D visualizations in technical
publications. Topics include: creating multiple views & cross
sections; lighting settings; Acrobat 3D Toolkit: adding materials,
creating animations and exploded views; enhancing 3D interactivity
with Acrobat JavaScript; part measurements; comments and markups
in interactive 3D models; converting models from CAD to U3D and
PDF; capturing models from CAD.

REMINDER: Getting The Word Out

If you're looking for a way to get the word out about your
upcoming events, training opportunities, job offers, employment
availability, or similar items, check out the new TECHWR-L
Classified Ads. You'll find them at:
  http://www.techwr-l.com/classified
as well as at the lower-left side of many pages in the
TECHWR-L site. There is no charge for these ads, and you're
welcome to use them as much as you'd like. 

Along those lines, don't forget about the new TECHWR-L
Events Calendar, at 
http://www.techwr-l.com/event
to post upcoming events to a public calendar. 

For both of these features, any TECHWR-L user who is logged
into the site can add entries. Just go to 
http://www.techwr-l.com/
Log in (register, if needed--TECHWR-L subscribers have not 
been automatically added to the site), then go to 
My TECHWR-L->Post New Content. 

Enjoy!
