TechWhirl: Technical Communication Recap for August 1, 2014

[TechWhirl Admin <admin -at- techwhirl -dot- com>]

Have you gone exploring around TechWhirl lately? My regular jaunts through
the archives, the email discussion list <http://techwr-l.com/>, the
magazines and the portals always turn up some gems, but lately more so than
ever. You could peruse some really informative, extra lively discussions on
a whole range of topics, including style versus grammar
<http://www.techwr-l.com/archives/1407/techwhirl-1407-00162.html#.U9u1ZvldXYY>,
using Jira for documentation
<http://www.techwr-l.com/archives/1407/techwhirl-1407-00045.html#.U9u1B_ldXYY>,
Oculus Rift docs
<http://www.techwr-l.com/archives/1407/techwhirl-1407-00181.html#.U9u1kPldXYY>,
using Illustrator
<http://www.techwr-l.com/archives/1407/techwhirl-1407-00196.html#.U9u1rvldXYY>,
infographics
<http://www.techwr-l.com/archives/1407/techwhirl-1407-00072.html#.U9u1SfldXYY>â
and thatâs just the topics generated in the discussion list.


Add to that a few more debates and commentary about recent TechWhirl
articles courtesy the community forums. Welcome our latest addition to the
Special Writers Unit, veteran Whirler Dan Goldstein. Hop over to
awards.techwhirl.com and take advantage of the opportunity to enter a CERA
nomination <http://awards.techwhirl.com/submit/> (recognize great content
and those that create itâyourself, your team, or your clients). And thereâs
always some new opportunities presenting themselves on the TechWhirl jobs
site <http://jobs.techwhirl.com/>.


More fun than a Saturday at a theme park, more educational than a day on
the beach with the latest bestseller. And guess whatâ no sunburn!


Have a great weekend!
