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 just got a gig documenting a large-scale CORBA deployment in a
financial organization.
I need to produce technical reference material that covers APIs and
other interface-specific calls. The audience comprises developers and
business analysts. They need to know how to write code that talks to the
new system.
The front-end to the system is written using Java script. The primary
users are brokers and administrative staff. An online user guide and a
quick reference card are required.
Any one out there tackle something like this before? Ideas or
strategies?
