This 4 hour introductory seminar will present a basic but thorough overview of
SGML. If you are just getting started with SGML, or have been told to
cost-justify a decision to use SGML, or to figure out how to start to manage
your company's documents, this course is for you. If you have trouble spelling
SGML and/or confuse "DDT" and "DTD," this is a great place to start. Even
someone who has begun to work with SGML will likely find useful nuggets of SGML
knowledge they might have missed while working on project-specific
implementations.
B. Tommie Usdin, president of Mulberry Technologies, Inc. and co-chair of the
SGML'96 conference , will present an "Introduction to SGML for Beginners"
prior to the May meeting of the Forum. The four-hour course will focus on
basic SGML concepts and vocabulary and explore the benefits and potential
problems of adopting SGML-based systems for
document production.
The fee will be $20 for Forum members and $50 for non-members. Since seating
is limited to the first 30 paid reservations, please reserve early. All
reservations must be pre-paid. The Forum cannot accept payments or payment

tutorial, in the same location. Please come for the afternoon seminar and stay

Adobe's PDF format. Does SGML have any advantages when the target output is
Acrobat? Mr. Bingham may have some surprises for you. For the vendor portion
of the meeting, Adobe will show their new FrameMaker +SGML release.
