ANN: 25% off sale on Documenting APIs and
Just Enough Java videos

As a Documentation Specialist, you need to continue evolving
your tech-writing skills. But in todays economy who can
afford the time and money to attend an out-of-state (or
country) seminar? With our line of Workshops-on-a-DVD and
workbooks we bring the seminar to you.

Fall Special: 25% off our DVDs. Thats a savings of $100!

** Documenting APIs and SDKs: Workshop-on-a-DVD **
This unique video explains, step-by-step, how to create
useful documentation for a Software Development Kit.
Topics include:
- How to structure the documentation set for an SDK
- What programmers really want
- How to outline a Developer's Guide
- How to automatically generate a Reference Manual using DGP
tools
- And much more.

** Just Enough Java: Workshop-on-a-DVD **
You don't have to know everything about Java to work on an
API written in that language. You just need to know enough
to decode the source files and actually start writing,
instead of having to rely on the programmer's notes. At the
end of this video, you will be able to do exactly that!

Full of illuminating advice, easy-to-follow examples,
practical exercises and a hard copy workbook, these
Workshops-on-a-DVD are designed and presented by
award-winning, 25-year veteran writer-programmer,
Manuel Gordon, based on his highly popular Gordon &
Gordon seminars.
