Hi, all.
Just curious:
What are the references you use on the job in software and 'page-ware?'
What about 'theory-oriented' books?
Are there any you'd recommend? Any you'd like to heat up at F 451?
Are there any 'manuals' out there that have caught your eye as a model
for good technical communications? (besides yours, of course.)
I imagine there's plenty so to not tie up the traffic on the list, send
me your replies to the address at the bottom of your screen.
I'll compose a listing (in my spare time, of course) and distribute it to
the list.
