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.
I'm sure the workshop this book comes from is
wonderful, but the book itself is reprints of the
set of PowerPoint slides from the workshop
without much of the backup description that I'm
sure went with each slide. There was some good
information there, and if your intent is to use the
book to nudge you in the right direction toward
the actual format of the documentation, you may
find it helpful. I didn't know much about C++ code
at all (which is what I'm documenting) and I'm using
it in conjunction with "Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours."
My situation might be unique in that I was completely
cold in terms of the code. I don't think that either the
book or the workshop are intended for people like me.
The code samples in the book don't look like the
code I'm looking at, and there isn't much description
to help you decipher stuff like that.
To be fair, that is not the intent of the book either.
So the upshot is, I'm not finding the book terribly
helpful, but I think the problem is between the chair
and the book! ;-)
Hi, I've been looking for a book to learn api documentation. I've found a
workshop based in Canada by Gordan and Gordan. I'm based in So Cal and
would
only order their written materials.
