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.
Believe it or not, PROGRAMMING PERL by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen and Randal L. Schwartz (O'Reilly Books) contains some good humorous writing. I mean, it's not Dave Barry, but for a computer book, it's very humorous. And the thing I really like about it is that the humor is *organic*--that is, it's not just an occasional joke thrown in. The writing is informative and amusing at the same time. That is quite a feat.
By the way, LEARNING PERL by Randal Schwartz is also chock full of chuckles for the pocket-protector set.
