There are just three weeks left to register for the JumpStart Conference for
JavaHelp Technology in Burlingame, CA, Monday, May 3. This unique one-day
event, produced by WinWriters in consultation with Sun Microsystems and Weisner
Associates, provides the first comprehensive look at this emerging online Help
standard. Over 150 Help authors from sixteen states have already signed up. Sun
Microsystems will be represented by thirteen staff members to help answer your
questions. Representatives from Blue Sky Software, WexTech Systems, ForeFront,

*******************
There are also a few spaces left in Weisner Associates "Building HTML-Based
Help Systems" seminar, which will be held immediately following the JavaHelp
conference on May 4-5 in Burlingame (near San Francisco). This exceptional
class provides an opportunity for hands-on discovery of the strengths and
weaknesses of Microsoft's HTML Help, Blue Sky Software's WebHelp, and Sun
Microsystems' JavaHelp. The course also introduces a unique hybrid approach
that melds multiple web technologies, such as Java, Dynamic HTML, and scripting
to deliver cross-platform, browser-based help systems.
