Join us as Vancouver technical writer Robert Desprez speaks about preparing content for mobile delivery.
Robert's presentation will look at:
- current trends in mobile use;
- responding to the changing ways that users read content;
- different mobile output formats such as HTML5 and EPUBs;
- common challenges in creating mobile-friendly content;
- appropriate language and formatting; and
- common authoring tools such as Robohelp and Madcap Flare.
Robert has worked as a technical writer for more than 15 years, including stints at Kodak, Boeing, Teck Resources, and FortisBC. He's also worked as a writing instructor at Simon Fraser University in their Harbour Centre campus in downtown Vancouver. In 2016, Robert wrote a series of blog posts and presentations for Adobe that examined mobile trends and how technical writers are responding.
