Description

Welcome! 


Glad you're here. This is a wonderful place to start your journey into structured content and DITA XML. Don't fret, you'll find nothing too intimidating here. Just some knowledge-packed videos that'll gently guide your first steps down the learning path. This course is meant to be a survey that will act as helpful reference material as you continue your learning.


What are you learning about? Glad you asked.


Structured content and DITA XML have long been a dynamic duo in the content world. That said, the content we create using them is different from, say, writing an essay or a blog post. The difference is powerful, but strange, with a few fascinating intricacies along the way. This course is here to make them clear. In this course, we'll explore exactly what structured content and DITA XML are and some of their most powerful capabilities. By the end of this video course, you will be able to define

  • What structured content is

  • What DITA XML is

  • What content reuse is

  • What conditional processing is

  • What multi-channel publishing is

  • What a single source of truth is

  • What a component content management system (CCMS) is

From here, you'll have enough of a survey to move into more hands-on applications of DITA XML and structured authoring. Think of this course as a jumping point from which you'll have enough foundational knowledge to enter a practical environment and have a handle on the theoretical basics.

The "Introduction to structured content & DITA XML" course is an excellent resource for anyone who is new to the framework or wants to deepen their understanding of it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn both.

Yes, an excellent - and structured - content to start my journey with SCA and DITA XML. Re. delivery: I've had some difficulty with music - it would be great if it would be in separate channel that could be toned up, down or disabled. I would really welcome the interface to be able to pop out mini splash window which I would watch on top of other items.

Informative and clear concept. Most examples are easy to follow. The variable content and conditional processing concepts were harder to understand.

I didn’t learn how to do anything, but I did learn the same 4 things over and over and over. Nice videos. Slick, but their repetitiousness seems to prove the difficulties of actually implementing the processes they’re trying to sell. Putting together a document from components is as difficult as putting together a course from components. In this case the components were videos that all basically say the same thing to annoying music.

It's good but please lose the background music. It's distracting. The explanation of the what and why of strutured content was great but I would've liked a bit more depth on DITA.
