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'm new to this list and have been enjoying the conversation and the wit.
I am a contract writer and have had conversations with two potential
clients both of whom wanted to know if I had ever documented an object
oriented application before. I had to answer "no".
My question is how is writing for an OOA different? When I worked in a
corporate environment, I wrote software user manuals and from the little
these folks have told me, I deduce that that is what they need.
Thanks in advance for your help.
