STC Conference Springboard Session: Multimedia Content

I'll be hosting a springboard session at the STC conference next week. Springboard sessions are informal discussions around whiteboards or flip charts where people can capture ideas. Mine is about using multimedia as part of a documentation set, which is something I've been working on part-time for the last year or so. The session is Monday from 10:00 to 10:30.

Here are some examples of topics in the Visual Studio Tools for Office documentation that Kathleen McGrath and I have created videos for. Inside the topic, there's a link to a video demonstration that takes you to a Visual How To page on MSDN, where you can watch the procedure and get an idea of what's going on before you start working through the steps yourself:

Walkthrough: Automating an Application from Controls on the Ribbon

How to: Add a Custom Task Pane to an Application

Automating PowerPoint 2007 Using a Custom Task Pane 

Here's an informal presentation I did that's just audio:

Audio How-to: Customizing the Ribbon Using VSTO 2005 SE

I'd really like to see what other people are doing and talk about what works and what lessons we've learned. Hope to see you there!
