Synopsis
&>The Start-to-Finish, Best-Practice Guide to Implementing and Using DITA Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is today's most powerful toolbox for constructing information. By implementing DITA, organizations can gain more value from their technical documentation than ever before. Now, three DITA pioneers offer the first complete roadmap for successful DITA adoption, implementation, and usage. Drawing on years of experience helping large organizations adopt DITA, the authors answer crucial questions the "official" DITA documents ignore, including: Where do you start? What should you know up front? What are the pitfalls in implementing DITA? How can you avoid those pitfalls? The authors begin with topic-based writing, presenting proven best practices for developing effective topics and short descriptions. Next, they address content architecture, including how best to set up and implement DITA maps, linking strategies, metadata, conditional processing, and content reuse. Finally, they offer "in the trenches" solutions for ensuring quality implementations, including guidance on content conversion. Coverage includes: Knowing how and when to use each DITA element-and when not to Writing "minimalist," task-oriented information that quickly meets users' needs Creating effective task, concept, and reference topics for any product, technology, or service Writing effective short descriptions that work well in all contexts Structuring DITA maps to bind topics together and provide superior navigation Using links to create information webs that improve retrievability and navigation Gaining benefits from metadata without getting lost in complexity Using conditional processing to eliminate redundancy and rework Systematically promoting reuse to improve quality and reduce costs Planning, resourcing, and executing effective content conversion Improving quality by editing DITA content and XML markup If you're a writer, editor, information architect, manager, or consultant who evaluates, deploys, or uses DITA, this book will guide you all the way to success.

    The package was shipped here fast, and the CDs were in good condition, but the case got stuck to the pamphlet inside. The seller did tell the truth in saying it was acceptable as was described, and he chose a good price for this, as it is 2 CDs that are almost 15 years old.

    This is the second purchase I made from this seller, and they have quickly become an e-bay favorite! The shipping was SUPER fast, the packaging was carefully rendered, and the DVD itself was in BEAUTIFUL condition. Like my last purchase, the DVD was brand new and still encased in shrink wrap. What an amazing seller! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Also, it feels nice to support an organization who is helping our marginalized communities. Thank you for everything!

    The Make Room For Daddy Vol. 1 used DVD was in great condition. The slip case is in great condtion as well as the DVD and was a great value. The Make Room for Daddy Vol. 1 DVD was packed in a heavy manila bubble wrap envelope. ClickgoodwillBooks offered 5 star + customer service. I received the DVD in 5 days from Indianapolis Indiana. A very nice eBay seller to buy from to help out a charity.
