Subject:Workshop on DVD: Documenting APIs and SDKs From:Michael Strickland <Mstrickland -at- entriq -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 13 Oct 2004 09:59:48 -0700
Hi all:
The daily TECHWR-L Jobs/Events/Announcements email contained an announcement
(ad) for a workshop-on-DVD from Third Wave Studios on the topic of
"Documenting APIs and SDKs" (see excerpted ad and link below for more info).
This sounds like a product that might be worth buying for our small doc
dept., but I thought I'd solicit any opinions/reviews first. Has anyone seen
this DVD (or attended the in-person workshop), or have any knowledge of, or
opinions about, similar products from Third Wave Studios? Any feedback
welcome.
