TechWhirl: Technical Communication Recap for April 18, 2014

[TechWhirl Admin <admin -at- techwhirl -dot- com>]

Itâs a thoughtful week on TechWhirlânot that it isnât always pretty
thoughtful around here, but this weekâs features seem have a higher than
usually quotient of thought provocation. From the mutual interview between
Tom Johnson and Marcia Johnston on writing in a tech world, to Lois
Pattersonâs take on conferences you might not have thought about attending,
to Jacquie Samuelsâ latest DITA article that gives some reasons for caring
about DITA.

what youâve been thinking about content and tech comm.  Register for the
