This event starts at 10:30am sharp with a welcoming note by Rajdeep Gupta, followed by our guest speakers’ presentations.

Rajiv Jain, Documentation Manager of Zilog Systems, will present the first of the sessions on “Programming Concepts for Writers (with C++).” The session is intended for writers involved in API/SDK documentation or those who want to learn fundamental Programming concepts. This presentation provides high level overview of programming concepts (sequence, selection, and iteration) with C++ as example. This is helpful to all those who are involved in API/SDK related documentation irrespective of programming language used by them, as concepts remain the same for all the languages. This presentation will help participants to understand the programming concepts, read the APIs, and contribute as writers in APD guides. It also helps us to understand what parameters are and to return values which will help to add value in content and decrease the dependency on SMEs. You will definitely add value in the content instead of just cutting, pasting, formatting, or implementing the style guide.
Next, we have the veteran and the versatile Makrand Pandit providing ”An Introduction to Structured Writing and Structured FrameMaker.” During the course of the presentation, learn about the advantages and disadvantages of structured writing; in addition, there will be more insights on EDD and SFM files.
