How to Create a Digital Book Easily?
These four afternoons of workshops led by trainer Antoine Fauchié are designed to help you discover and master a web-based digital book production tool. There's no need to install any specific software, as the manipulations are based on an online interface (via GitLab, a code-sharing platform to which various tools can be connected). Programs such as static site generators, code-sharing platforms and content management systems enable us to edit text, add images and see the results live.
At the end of these two days, we'll be able to create, modify and publish (on the web) a multi-format digital book (digital web and print versions). No technical prerequisites are necessary, and practical exercises will be adapted as far as possible to the level and projects of the participants - we recommend that you come with your project, otherwise we'll provide you with book templates.
At the end of the two-day workshop, we will have achieved the following:
- understand digital publishing strategies
- understand the challenges of digital book creation and production
- keep control of your content without depending on centralized platforms
- master digital book production and distribution tools
- create a usable website
Here's what this workshop doesn't take into account:
- discovering and mastering self-publishing platforms
- marketing strategy
- PDF creation for professional printing
- creation of templates for content formatting
Book Templates
Please note that you will be offered a number of website templates. This course does not include the creation or customization of these templates, which would require higher-level technical skills.
