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.
1) What is important to teach in a Technical Writing course
and
2) What are good software packages to use (Interleaf, Framemaker)
I would like to combine the two and ask what would be an appropriate
software package and machine to run it on for a Technical Writing course
that is heavily computer based.
What I would be looking for is a package that is powerful, intuitive,
but also commonly used in industry. The main suggestion I have received
so far is Framemaker for the MacIntosh. Is this a good choice, or would
someone care to make a case for another? Any suggestions are welcome.
