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.
I think our industry is changing so much that the traditional "technical
writer" is going to change as well.
For me, it's more than writing user documentation - it is creating user
content such as e-learning, training documents and videos, content portals,
etc.
I should be retired but there's so much to learn and I'm having too much
fun!
