In TCS2 there is a User Guide PDF (UserGuide.pdf) for FrameMaker 9 that gets
installed in:

C:\Program Files\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2\Adobe FrameMaker
9\Documents

This may be a good starting point.

 Framers,

 Does anyone know of any FM 9 books, aside from the Classroom in a Book?
 It's
 the only thing I've found that is just FM 9. (I know about Icon Logic's TCS
 2 book, but that does not fit my need.)

 Has anyone used the Classroom in a Book for FM 9? I just requested a review
 copy, but I'm not sure when I'll receive it. I'd like to know what you've
 thought of it for teaching FM 9.

 Thanks!

Me too.  But I don't underestimate the work involved in designing the content 
for such a book.  I'm sure one of the problems would be that one would have to 
write two books in one.  On the one hand is the *present* mainstream (DocBook 
and other monolithic architectures), which are easier for unstructured diehards 
to grokk, but which can't provide a single content source solution.  On the 
other are the "coming things" that we (as writers and content developers) can't 
ignore:  DITA and maybe other granular architectures we haven't seen in public 
yet. 

I reckon it would need at least two authors and someone to keep bread on their 
table while they were doing it.  That, of course, means establishing that there 
would be a sufficiently worthwhile ROI associated with such a project.

RE: FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread Alison Craig

Linda:

Scriptorium has a FrameMaker 8 book that we bought when we were still 
considering the move to FrameMaker. By the time a decision was made, FM 9 was 
out. However, the book is still very useful as the differences between 8 and 9 
are mostly in the onscreen structure (ie, the pods). As far as functionality 
goes, I have found Scriptorium's book to be an excellent tool.

I agree with Alison. In fact, until I got the FM8 book from Scriptorium

essentials are still the same.

RE: FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread Spectrum Writing
The Classroom in a Book for FM 9 is useless - speaking from personal
experience. It was NOT written as a new book for FM9, but basically the
author just updated 7.2 information and thought it would fit FM9 and it
doesn't. More questions are left unanswered than answered at all. If you
need to learn FM 9 specifics, like docking, etc., then RJ's blogs are the
way to go.

FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread Spectrum Writing
The Classroom in a Book for FM 9 is useless - speaking from personal
experience. It was NOT written as a new book for FM9, but basically the
author just "updated" 7.2 information and thought it would fit FM9 and it
doesn't. More questions are left unanswered than answered at all. If you
need to learn FM 9 specifics, like docking, etc., then RJ's blogs are the
way to go.

Framers,

Does anyone know of any FM 9 books, aside from the Classroom in a Book? It's
the only thing I've found that is just FM 9. (I know about Icon Logic's TCS
2 book, but that does not fit my need.)

Has anyone used the Classroom in a Book for FM 9? I just requested a review
copy, but I'm not sure when I'll receive it. I'd like to know what you've
thought of it for teaching FM 9.

Thanks!

FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread syed.hos...@aeris.net
I like the Scriptorium book a lot too.

My only regret is that they decided not to publish the "Structured
FrameMaker" version of it ... I hope that this happens sometime. I would
gladly buy it!

Linda:

Scriptorium has a FrameMaker 8 book that we bought when we were still
considering the move to FrameMaker. By the time a decision was made, FM
9 was out. However, the book is still very useful as the differences
between 8 and 9 are mostly in the onscreen structure (ie, the "pods").
As far as functionality goes, I have found Scriptorium's book to be an
excellent tool.

Framers,

It's
the only thing I've found that is just FM 9. (I know about Icon Logic's
TCS
2 book, but that does not fit my need.)

Has anyone used the Classroom in a Book for FM 9? I just requested a
review
copy, but I'm not sure when I'll receive it. I'd like to know what
you've
thought of it for teaching FM 9.

Thanks!

FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread Veronica
We at Front Runner highly recommend Scriptorium's Publishing Fundamentals:
Unstructured FrameMaker 8. This is the book we provide our students as a
reference book for our FrameMaker training.
