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.
The purpose of teaching programmers to write shouldn't be so they can write
acceptable user documentation; that's our job, and I'm not ready to give it
up. I think the purpose of teaching programmers to write should be to make
things clearer for US, which in turn makes it easier to write the
documentation. The clearer the programmers write, the less time and effort I
expend trying to translate, the less I hassle them for explanations, and the
more confident I am that what I write is clear and correct.
