If you attended the February meeting unaware of where XML is taking technical communication, Doug Crews immersed you into the world of XML concepts, tools, and applications in a cold-water bath filled with new acronyms to shock the system.
The good news is that the slide-filled presentation is downloadable on Doug's Web site, augmented by information from his three-hour presentation at the Winter Workshops.
Transformation is the name of the game, as XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) transforms formatted output 'on the fly', it will tranform our jobs from writer/editors to granular content managers, and introduce us to new skills and tools.
If you'd become comfortable with CSS, DSSSL, HTTP, and HTML, make way for SOAP, ebXML, WebDAV, IDEs, and many, many more. Doug Crews is here to help. Download his presentation, familiarize yourself with the new technology, and that cold bath will become a warm, SOAPy soak.
