Subject:Not being a programmer... From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 30 Mar 2005 14:04:20 -0800 (PST)
I'm documenting a large portal. I'm not a programmer. Wanna know what
happens when you aren't a programmer? You look into VSS and see asp,
vbp, cls, bas, vbw, vbp, pdm, exp, dsk, dsr, lib, etc, and they are
simply letters.
...and this is just in VSS...I don't wanna go into what I see through
Enterprise Manager.
<sigh>
Don't tell ME that being a programmer wouldn't help me be a better
technical writer.
