TRAINING: Learn how to Document APIs and SDKs with a Workshop
on a DVD

Learning how to Document APIs is a great way to enhance your tech
writing skills and earn more money. Our "Workshop-on-a-DVD",
featuring well known tech writing guru Manuel Gordon, can
get you started now.


Here?s a quote from the recent review on the TECHWR-L website:

"...Manny does a great job of explaining what all the different
pieces in the documentation set look like, how the uninitiated
technical writer can create these deliverables, and even
where to cut corners when you?re short on time."

And some customer comments:

"I bought this DVD and found it very useful. There is a lot of
information about how programmers think and what they expect...
in addition to detailed information on APIs and SDKs."
-Mark Giffin, Independent Technical Writer & Consultant

"It's a very good starting point and is well worth the money."
-Bill Swallow, Manager of Documentation
