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.
Michael Gos recently asked for references to good texts for use in teaching a
Techncal Writing course. I just completed a course and we used a brand new
text.
The text is:
"Writing for the Computer Industry" by Kristen Woolever of Northeastern
University.
I suspect you can reach Kristen via e-mail but I don't know her account name.
If it follows the pattern of the account name Northeastern assigned to me it
would be:
krwoolever -at- lynx -dot- neu -dot- edu
Good luck with the course.
