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.
Maybe, maybe not. I can see environments where a technical writer may
need to whole Visual Studio suite along with all Microsoft and
Borland tools, and in that case, Gene's statement is true...I for one
am not one.
However, if your management knows that you aren't a developer and yet
you ask for a development machine, your request for what you REALLY
need may hit a credibility snag.
