Book on Documenting APIs/SDKs

[tgr -at- lanminds -dot- com]

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.

of the old ones.
