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.
Mastering Regular Expressions is highly recommended by just about
everybody involved with the other Perl books on this list.
Add my recommendation to that (as I glance at the curling copy on my
desk). It's almost tempting to say "If it can't be done with a regular
expression, it can't be done."
One O'Reilly book I'm surprised no one has mentioned: Rosenfeld
and Morville's superb "Information Architecture For The World
Wide Web." Anyone who thinks that they want to design a web
site should be required by Federal law to read this book and
pass an examination on its contents before proceeding. I'm
only half kidding, I think.
Definitely required reading. And stop by the Web Architect (http://
usableweb.com/webarchitect.html) for more.
Have fun,
