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.
Nancy Hoft asked whether anyone had experience producing multiplatform
CD-ROMs. I recommend "Soup to Nuts--CD-ROM Creation: Hard Lessons Learned in
Cross-Platform Development, by Barry J. Hudson, CD-ROM Professional, 7 (March
1994), 65-75. It's a detailed and helpful account of producing proceedings
for a conference using Acrobat and QuickTime movies on the Mac and Windows
platforms.
