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 have been asked to write an article on the technical writing textbooks
available in the book market at this time. Since I don't want to push
only what I like, I would like to hear from the networkers who teach
technical writing on a regular basis. These textbooks must be meant for
a general course in tech writing, not in on-line manuals or sophisticated
technical report writing. I currently use Mathes and Stevenson. In the
past I have used Anderson, Rose and Burnett texts. Any comments on
Burnett or Rose books? Send your mail to oswal -at- knuth -dot- mtsu -dot- edu
If folks on this net are interested in reading the rsults of my survey,
I'll be glad to post them after August 1.
