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.
Remembering this list's recent past thread about Edward Tufte, I thought
some of you in the Boston area might be interested in this. I got the
course brochure in the mail last night.
Edward Tufte is offering his one-day course "Presenting Data and
Information" in Boston on four separate days--June 10, 11, 12 and 13. The
cost is $300 ($150 if you are currently a full-time student) per person.
This fee includes all three of his information design books: Visual Display
of Quantitative Information, Envisioning Information, and Visual
Explanations (his latest). Some of the topics he'll cover are: fundamental
strategies of information design; color and information; complexity and
clarity; multi-media, internet, and www screens; design of computer
interfaces and manuals.
For more information or to register by phone using VISA, MC, or purchase
order, call 800-822-2454 (within Connecticut 203-272-9187) between 9 am to
5 pm eastern time.
