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.
On a different tack "prolegomena" (plural form) is part of a standard
curricula at some graduate schools of theology. The course addresses the
primary bases for the beliefs held and taught by the school and/or
denomination.
As for the usage difference, I have seen that preface and prologue are much
more interchangeable, but "preface" is more akin to "introduction or
foreword by someone other than the author," while "prologue" is most likely
to be "introduction written by the author to explain something he/she thinks
you need to know about the book."
