User guides
I created and update regularly two extensive training guides for Citizenre, which are only available to Associates. They are prepared in Robohelp and uploaded as FlashHelp and printable PDFs.
FastBloc®2 User Guides (near bottom of page) for Guidance Software. I completely revised the FrameMaker templates used for the new series of User Guides, and encouraged a simpler, more standardized writing technique to prepare for more serious DITA-based single sourcing in the near future. For an example of the "before" design, see the FastBloc LE Manual further down the page. (These now require login to access.)
