RoboHelp is one of the most senior help authoring tools, having first
appeared in 1991. It's also an extremely powerful tool and still
one of the most widely used.
You
can use RoboHelp without being formally trained on it. Many authors
do. But without formal training, you may not understand why some
things go wrong, or why you do the things you do (aside from the fact
that your predecessor told you to). But if you understand how, and why,
to use RoboHelp's features, you'll be able to use it more effectively,
more efficiently, and you'll get to that point more quickly.
This
three-day, hands-on seminar is aimed at developers who need to understand
RoboHelp from the basic level to some of the more advanced features, and
quickly get up to speed on how to use them. There are no prerequisites.
