Presentation Skills and Techniques  

Communicating efficiently when giving presentations relies on a superb blend of technique and knowledge. Knowledge is gained through research and experience, the techniques are learned by observation, deliberately reading topic specific books, or by attending relevant workshops. As you progress and you become increasingly proficient in delivery, your own unique style will ultimately evolve.

To SGML or Not to SGML. That is the Question?  

SGML is a tool that will change the way technical communicators work, it will also change the way companies operate. To implement SGML requires careful planning. Success will allow information to be created once and used repeatedly. This technology will benefit any company that requires large amounts of technical information to be shared and eventually updated. DTDs, FOSIs and parsers will all have to be understood before a move to SGML is contemplated. SGML does for document creation what word processing did for typing, some years ago. It adds repeatable format structure and style to an information document.
