Purpose and Scope:
The role of the Sr. Technical Writer is to write, produce and maintain technical publications for multiple product lines, including administrator and end-user guides, release documentation and white papers to help users with BakBone products. This individual is responsible for ensuring that technical publication deliverables assigned are completed in a timely manner with a high level of quality using pre-defined best practices and standards. This individual will also assist in the translation of GUI and technical documentation from English to Japanese as needed.

Following an overview of the principles of structured authoring (with a focus on the DITA model), you’ll apply those principles to your own content. Working with the instructor, you’ll physically deconstruct a current publication (or part of one), breaking it down into individual, self-contained, reusable topics. Next, you apply some basic DITA markup to the topics to begin understanding the relationship between the elements and your actual content.

This full-day workshop begins with an overview of DITA—the intention behind it and how it promotes a structured, single-source approach to authoring. Next, you’ll learn about the concept, reference, task and topic information types, including the purposes and components (elements) of each. Instructional segments are followed by an opportunity for you to put the principles you just learned to use, creating a set of DITA topics from scratch. Then, you learn about DITA maps and, time permitting, create some of your own, building different deliverables for different audiences.
