And as you said there aren't too many resources for FM9-DITA yet. I'll try to post more DITA materials and tutorials in the months ahead. I wish you well in the next phase of your career. I think you've got a good stretch of professional challenges and advancement ahead of you. As you learn more about DITA and FM9 I hope you'll be able to share them with TCC readers here as well.

I am trying to break into the technical writing field and recently received certification as a technical writer. Unfortunately the ceritfication process did not cover Adobe FrameMaker, XML or DITA. I am now trying to learn structured FrameMaker, XML / DITA on my own to become employable. Adobe FrameMaker 9 has few if none books available on the subject and the video's I have found on the subject stop at Frame 8. Working w/ DITA differs on Frame 9 from Frame 8.
