Thanks to my tireless efforts to find resources about documenting APIs and SDKs, I have come across a book on the subject by a self-published technical writer and trainer in the San Francisco Bay Area. I know there have been occasional discussions on the topic of such resources and the lack of them. So, I pass along a link to the author's web site where you can download a sample of the book in PDF format. It is written by and for a technical writer and it explains what a technical writer needs to understand and do to present information useful to developers. I have no association with the author and make no claims about it, other than that it seems to fill an important niche.

If anyone knows of other tech-writer specific books on this subject, I would love to learn about them. Please share.
