Getting a Help system and an application to talk and work together is
often a challenge during any development effort.  To enable Help systems
to talk with applications, your project team must analyze their needs
and meet some requirements. In this seminar, we'll talk about those
requirements as well as how new Help system technologies can
affect your current and future projects. The information you'll gain
from this seminar will make your development cycles more manageable and
predictable.

Key Topics:
Scoping project requirements
Analyzing the requirements for context sensitive Help
Efficient Help system planning for the entire project team
Adding Help support in an application
Creating builds and installations
Understanding the impact of HTML Help and Netscape's NetHelp
Mixing different versions of Windows and web Help systems

This seminar provides interactive lab exercises. Computers will be
provided.

Fee: $350
