The past two weeks have been somewhat of a blur for the gang here at TechWhirl, having covered the Intelligent Content Conference for the first time last week (look for some summaries of the happenings over the next few weeks), and hearing about a number of product releases in our little corner of the world. We know that producers of technical content have a number of high-quality tools to choose from, and these vendors pay attention to what their users are asking for. If you haven’t made time to research what’s new on the tool front, this is a great time to do so, with so many upgraded products to choose from.
Our vendor partners pay attention to the TechWhirl community, which means you have the opportunity to make your voice heard. Add your thoughts and comments by registering for the forum. Don’t forget to check out the archives, and subscribe to the email list to see who’s talking about what.
I’m still looking for a vendor who can provide me with a comfy pair of tech comm running shoes to keep up with what’s happening in our field every day… recommendations appreciated :-)
Have a great weekend,
-Connie and the gang at TechWhirl

MadCap Flare 10 – A ReviewFlare is a relative newcomer to the tech docs world, debuting in 2006. But MadCap has been busily extending it, with its tenth release this week (March 4) offering major new features and many enhancements. The most important new feature in MadCap Flare 10, in my opinion, is the new responsive output. |
