STC Boston Member:
Boston-IA (www.Boston-IA.org), an organization bringing together
Information Architecture and Internet Accessibility, is pleased to present
Neil Perlin talking about "Preparing Content for Device Independence" on
Wednesday, January 12, from 6 to 9 p.m., in the LaCava Campus Center at
Bentley College in Waltham, MA. Light refreshments will be served.
Pre-registration is required. To learn more and to register, please visit:
http://www.Boston-IA.org/meetings.html
TOPIC:
Device independence is "single-sourcing to the max". The content that you
create today can be made independent of any device, whether it be a
hand-held computer, a web-enabled cell phone, or an adaptive device for
people with disabilities. Neil Perlin will talk about creating content now
that is not tied to a particular output device, using such technologies as
XHTML and metadata. Paying attention to device independence as you develop
new information resources will make future content conversions and
transitions to new technologies much less painful.
Our January 2005 speaker is Neil Perlin, president of Hyper/Word Services
(www.hyperword.com) of Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Neil is a well-known
technical communications trainer, consultant, and developer for online
documentation and a wide range of help authoring tools. Among many
interests, he is frequent speaker for the STC and writes "Beyond the
Bleeding Edge", a column that appears regularly in the "Intercom" magazine,
in which he reports on future trends in technology and at the W3C (World
Wide Web consortium).
EVENT COST:
Cost for this special event is $15 for members, and $25 for non-members.
