TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
What tools were you familiar with last time around?
I'm not sure you need to spend money on training. Adobe and MadCap
have 30-day free trials. You can buy a 10-user copy of Confluence for
free.
The books in Adobe's Classroom in a Book series are sometimes quite good.
It's useful to be able to read and edit HTML and CSS at a fairly advanced level.
