Good Technical writing course?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Pragya Gupta wondered: <<I am looking for a good Technical writing 
course, online,  which emphasis on documentation tools and XML. I 
googled on net but found the courses to be pretty expensive. These 
courses are billed in Dollars and are quite expensive in terms of 
Indian Rupees. Can any one suggest me some effective course on 
Technical writing without being heavy on pocket?>>

If you're in India, try hooking up with the India chapter of STC 
(http://www.stc-india.org/). They should be able to point out academic 
programs given by Indian professors--thus, given at Indian rates 
instead of Western rates.

STC itself offers a database of academic programs 
(http://stc.org/edu/academicDatabase01.asp) that will let you search 
for the available options. Try "distance education" under the heading 
"Select a program".

If you're the right kind of person, a good textbook may provide 
everything you need, for much less money and on your own schedule 
rather than on someone else's schedule. Amazon.com is a good place to 
look for titles, most of which will have reviews of varying degrees of 
reliability. Look for reviews that describe why something is good or 
bad and ignore reviews that say only "it's great / it sucks". The 
former let you decide whether you agree; the latter only give you 
someone else's opinion.
