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.
And to figure all that stuff out, you may want to pick up Framemaker's
"Classroom in a Book". It will walk you through all the basics in an
organized way, and be a better reference than Adobe's so-called Help.
I second that. I am a self-taught FrameMaker user, but when I went
through my tech writing certificate, in our FrameMaker introduction
class, that's what the instructor has us work with. Gets you the basics
quite nicely.
After that, I'd recommend jumping in. My style, not necessarily other's
style.
