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 strongly recommend Technical Writing, A Reader-Centered Approach, third
edition, by Paul V. Anderson of Miami University, Ohio.
Harcourt Brace College Publishers
ISBN: 0-15-501185-5
This is an excellent total resource for any technical writer. I simply
cannot say enough positive things about this book. It is exhaustive in
details and examples, but easy to read and use. It also covers the entire
technical realm - with the exception of on-line help systems. This book is
not an advanced course on word processing or using RoboHELP, but rather is
an advanced course on the entire technical writing profession.
