Re: Best tecnhical writing books?

["Tiago Soares" <tiagosg -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I was a java developer.  I'm just starting to work in computer area, writing
software user guides etc. Some books were recommended to me and other I find
by searching.

So, as you said, is it a good start? Do you have any other recommendation
for me?

I´m improving my English too, because I'm not a native English speaker.

thank you.
