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.
Long long ago on a planet much too close for comfort, Burroughs (now
Unisys) actually wanted to see my transcript. They asked the same of
everyone. I've never had to cough up that document since, and no one has
ever asked my GPA. Just another of the lies grownups tell :-).
