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 used graphic representation and as few words
to introduce the concept as possible.
My graphics consist of two circles containg sample
data and between the circles is the name of the
boolean
operation. Then an arrow points to a third circle
with the sample data results of the opperation.
My readers responded favorably to this method.
