MadCap Insider Archive: March 2018

Welcome to the March issue of MadCap Insider. We’ve rounded up the latest tips and tricks from the MadBlog, added a webinar ideal for Flare newbies, and published a new white paper on single sourcing and localization best practices.

We’re excited to announce the MadWorld Europe 2018 conference in Prague features industry thought leaders from organizations such as VISA, Nestlé GLOBE, TEKOM Europe, and more. Early registration saves you $600 when you register by March 31; a final discount for the MadWorld 2018 conference in San Diego is also available through the end of the month.

Additionally, MadCap Doc-To-Help adds a new pre-written policy and procedure manual designed specifically for medical offices and organizations. The new pre-written document is a follow up to the Employee Handbook added earlier this year.

We hope you enjoy the latest issue of MadCap Insider.

The Framework of MadCap Flare: Understanding the Key Principles Behind How Flare Works

After years of working as a MadCap Flare trainer and Consultant, Daniel Ferguson shares the key principles that help his clients understand how Flare works. In this webinar, Daniel will provide a framework for how the pieces of Flare fit together, delving into: the difference between authoring, styling, building, and publishing; a basic understanding of CSS (and where you can get more training); and what single-sourcing is and how to take advantage of it. If you're new to Flare, or want to gain a better understanding how Flare works, this webinar is for you. After this presentation, you’ll have the knowledge you need to continue building your expertise and to succeed in using Flare.

March is your chance to save on both MadWorld 2018 in San Diego and MadWorld Europe 2018 in Prague.

Whether you’re looking for ways to expand your CSS skills, move your team to an agile development environment, brush up on translation best practices, or learn more about the latest product updates from MadCap Software, MadWorld offers a unique learning opportunity for teams and individuals alike.

Thank you MadCap Software for such an amazing conference. I learned so much! I can’t wait to get home and experiment with jQuery, CSS, and everything I learned in the Hospitality Lounge!
