TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Haven't needed to get up to speed quickly yet, John, but in the old days when I used Quark, I came across some great resources by Anne-Marie (Her Geekness) Concepcion, who is also quite knowledgeable about Indy, as I recall. Her web site is http://www.senecadesign.com/ and you'll likely want to check out http://www.senecadesign.com/designgeek/indesign.html.

Hi, guys...one of the things I want to do while I'm between gigs is to get up to speed with Adobe's ID. I have the software, CS3.
When I needed to do this with FM, I used the Cookbook to go from exercise to exercise and by the end of the weekend, was self-sufficient. I'd like to do the same with ID.
For those of you who needed to get up to speed quickly, what resources did you use to accomplish that?
