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.
A bible for Windows workers in these parts is Microsoft
Press' _The Windows Interface: An Application Design
Guide_ (1992). I like also Wilbert Galitz' new book
_It's Time to Clean Your Windows: Designing GUIs
That Work (John Wiley, 1994) and Mark Minasi's
_Secrets of Effective GUI Design_ (Sybex, 1994). These
are all excellent books.
A review of the Galitz and Minasi books will be
published in an upcoming issue of _Technical
Communication_.
