I happened to attend one of these free seminars in San Diego. Not only did
I learn something, I was also very lucky. Out of the 130 people in
attendance, my business card was drawn to win a free Information Mapping
course. It was like a dream come true. I had wanted to take a course for
several years but couldn't find the financial support to afford it.
The course changed my way of doing documentation and gave me clear
direction when it came to handling different types of information.
I recommend attending these free seminars, and I also recommend
Information Mapping.
