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.
So? If it works, why reinvent the wheel? Personally, I think it's a really
good way to LEARN something--start out by "tweaking the example", realize
you need a bit more, find out that bit more, and end up building on it
until--surprise!--you're the go-to expert. It sounds like learning by
doing to me.
