Training for FrameMaker 10 and S1000D

[Writer]

You might want to contact Front Runner in Toronto (http://www.front-runner.com/). I don't see course for that on their Web site, but they might be able to help you in some way.

>T o anyone offering FrameMaker training:
> 
> S1000D is a documentation standard that was developed in Europe for
> military use, but is now being widely adopted by Aerospace companies
> around the world. Theoretically, it's a framework to create any kind of
> documentation, from paper parts lists to maintenance procedures with 3D
> graphics on your iPhone, all from information modules stored in a
> central database. It's a nice vision of the future, but getting from
> here to there is the big (expensive) problem.
> 
> FrameMaker 10 seems to have quite a lot of S1000D support built in, such
> as the means to interact with a common source database and the ability
> to validate data modules against business rules, etc., but we are having
> trouble making any practical use of it.
> 
> Is anyone offering a course yet on using FrameMaker to support an S1000D
> implementation? We have been to some free seminars and watched plenty of
> Webinars, but they were mostly sales pitches on the benefits of the
> standard without any practical value. We need to move ahead with a real
> solution, because we have customers that are starting to request
> documentation that meets the new standard.
> 
> I would love to hear from any of you trainers about what resources you
> have available. We would really like to keep using FrameMaker as the
> basis for our documentation, rather than start with something completely
> new. It would be a big plus if the training was available in the Seattle
> area.
