Topic: "Designing and Deploying Browser-Based User Assistance"

About the Event

Information that resides on a Web server often has unique characteristics that can offer opportunities, as well as challenges in how we deploy user assistance. The ability to use Web technologies such as XML, server-side scripting with ASP or JSP, and CGI applications means that we can much more effectively meet the needs of our users than with client-side technologies. But at what cost? This session will take a broad survey of the differences between client-side and server-side content delivery for Help authors, particularly for Web-based and cross platform applications, including:

  • Navigation
  • Context-sensitivity
  • Security
  • Dynamic content delivery
