Product Description

To succeed in technical writing, you need a lot more than just writing ability. Technical Writing 101: A Real-World Guide to Planning and Writing Technical Content details the skills you need as a technical writer to create both printed and online content. This valuable reference describes the entire development process-planning, writing, visual design, editing, indexing, and production. You also get tips on how to write information that is more easily translated into other languages. You'll learn about the importance of following templates and about how structured authoring environments based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) streamline the content development process. This updated third edition features new information on the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard for structured authoring, and it explains the impact of Web 2.0 technologies-blogs, wikis, and forums-on technical communication.

4 out of 5

by Deborah from Canton, MI | Jan 17, 2010

I just finished this book for my Technical Writing 2 class this semester. The book is a quick read with easy to understand concepts and tips. The text content flows well, but that's to be expected in a technical writing book. There seems to be a Windows PC bias in the writing and screenshots, though the Mac is referenced throughout the book.

I didn't find the illustrations added much to the book. They didn't "fit" within the pages, and seemed more of an afterthought.
