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 second the motion for "How to Write a Computer Manual" by Jonathan Price.
I took a graduate course in technical writing and got more from Price's
book than from the instructor. Even though the focus is on software,
there is plenty of good general tech writing help including how design good
illustrations, rewriting, revising, reviewing other writer's material, and
style sheets.
