Speaking

We are happy to prepare in-house tutorials or professional development seminars. We can present a custom curriculum for your organization on any of these topics:

  1. All about ebook formats: Which are in current use? What devices support them? What are consumers' expectations?
  2. Creating an ebook: Step-by-step tutorials or high-level introductions.
  3. XML training: XML 101 or advanced XML topics like XSLT and XQuery.
  4. Digitization: Migrating from print to ebooks.
  5. Making the business case: The current digital publishing landscape, pricing and challenges.
  6. E-readers from eink to iPhones to iPads: Which do customers want? How can your products work everywhere?

We can address digital publishing issues for a general audience or provide hands-on training at a technical level.
