Technie Round-Up
Who doesn’t love a little bit of techno? If you’re hoping to break into technical writing or to hone your skillz, I found some links that could be helpful for you.
The basics on breaking into technical writing at WritersWeekly, which gives some advice on where to get schooled if you are very green.
If you’ve already gotten started, Absolute Write offers some bullets on making your turnout better and faster, such as “Footnote all generic acronyms using Google’s desk bar dictionary (for those who love the keyboard, that’s “Control – D.”) Technical people cannot keep up with their own acronyms. State the obvious and footnote TLAs (three letter acronyms). Give credit for the definition but include it.”
Some references by Ronald B. Standler on the style of technical writing (i.e. use of units with numbers, hyphens, bibliography.)
iUniverse has some software-type resources on HTML, Framemaker and more.
For additional resources, find a selection of mailing lists and professional organizations here at Techpubs.
And finally, from Columbia University, some notes below on technical papers in computer science and electrical engineering, with emphasis on papers in systems and networks.
