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.
List my favorite websites? I can't resist... :) These four aren't
technical writing websites per se, but they deal with user interface design
and other relevant topics.
www.iarchitect.com/shame
The Interface Hall of Shame. Smart and funny. Tons of good stuff to read,
lots of screen captures. It hasn't been updated since last June, but I keep
hoping.
joel.editthispage.com
Joel on Software. Not a TW site in any strict sense, but there's a lot of
information on user interface design as well as some insights on IT
management. Also smart and funny. Joel is such a good writer, I'd read his
stuff if he wrote about tricycles and navel lint.
www.xplane.com/xblog
"The Visual Thinking Weblog." Annotated links to lots of useful
information--graphic design, information architecture, and lots of other
subjects that are relevant to technical communication.
www.asktog.com
Bruce Tognazzini's site. A few articles about documentation are tucked away
in the archives, and there are plenty of insights about user interface
design. At the beginning of each month there's a new article or a bunch of
reader mail with responses from Tog.
IPCC 01, the IEEE International Professional Communication Conference,
October 24-27, 2001 at historic La Fonda in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
CALL FOR PAPERS OPEN UNTIL MARCH 15. http://ieeepcs.org/2001/
