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 am an engineer who is responsible for doing my own tech writing (extensive
user manuals for process control applications.) I would appreciate any tips
you real tech writers can give me on how technical material should best be
organized for easy understanding.
A list of good books or articles on tech writing would also be helpful.
I also am curious about the term "information mapping." What does this mean?
