Re: How to become a techie writer?

[Susan W. Gallagher <sgallagher5 -at- cox -dot- net>]

1. March yourself over to the local junior college and take
an introductory programming class.

2. Go to my website (http://members.cox.net/susanwg/) and 
read the whitepapers on OO terminology and API documentation.

3. Go to www.gordonandgordon.com and sign up for a couple of
their classes

4. Go to www.bruceeckle.com and read about the languages
you didn't study in school.

5. Hang w/ the programmers at work to pick up the vocabulary. 

HTH! Good luck!
