I attended a 2-day Basic and 1-day Advanced RH 5.0 class in January. The
course was taught by a certified RH guy. I had had only a brief exposure
to RH 3.0 several years before, and I found the course to be very
helpful in getting me up to speed for the WinHelp project I was about to
pick up.
A word of caution: I was the only one in the class w/o a lot of recent
RH experience and I did find myself getting a tad lost at times. If you
are not familiar with RH at all, make that clear to the instructor
before you sign up, and again at the class. Also try to play with RH a
bit before the class, so you won't be totally confused from the get-go.
And don't hesitate to ask the instructor for help in class if you need
it, even if it means slowing everyone else down. After all, your money
is just as green as theirs is...
Hope this helps!

I'd be interested in hearing from list members who have attended a
beginning-intermediate RoboHelp class. Please respond privately. Did
you
find it worthwhile? Who conducted the class? Would you recommend this
class to others? I'm sure I'll hear from a number of instructors and
companies offering this service, but I'd also like to hear from the
students.
I used an older version of RoboHelp for a 16 bit application in my
previous
job. I must now must get up to speed on the latest edition of RoboHelp.
I
am self-taught (using the RoboHelp tutorial), had to learn quickly, and
don't really understand much past the very basics of Help development.
My
boss has approved training (including a travel budget, if necessary) and
I
want to get some training this summer.
Who can help me?
