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.
I would like to attend a technical writing seminar, and I want to solicit
your advice.
Aside from going to a favorable location and enjoying the weekend, I really
want to learn. I write and manage employee policy and procedure, and I am
converting binder based documentation to WinHelp files.
The seminars that I am considering are:
o 43rd Technical Writer's Institute. Rensselaer.
o Structuring Information to Go Online and On Paper.
Communitec.
o Managing Technical Publications. University of Wisconsin.
o Any of the technical writing seminars by Solutions.
o One-Stop Documentation. Dr. Conrad Gottfredson, SkillTech.
o How to Manage Documentation & Instructional Design Projects.
Dr. JoAnn Hackos, SkillTech.
o Constructing On-Line Documentation.
Dr. Conrad Gottfredson, SkillTech.
o Mastering the Manual. Jay Lutz,
Manuals Corporation of America.
Have any of you been to these seminars? If so, what seminars do you
recommend? Are there specific seminar leaders that I should look for? Are
there any other seminars that I have not listed that you recommend?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Keith Baker
