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.
I went to it some years ago in Palo Alto. I thought it was a day well spent. As
I remember, there was still a lot of material that wasn't in the books (and the
books are part of the course package, and those in themselves are almost
worth the trip); apart from the fact that Tufte is an amazing presenter. I had
food for thought for many weeks afterwards and even now his books take a
prominent place on bookshelf.
YMMV of course, but I would certainyl recommend it 'even' for non-graphic
artists.
