Subject:The Technical Writing Field From:george -dot- m -dot- hook -at- accenture -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 27 Jun 2001 19:58:02 -0500
Hi, TECHWR-L Members:
I'm a novice at technical writing, but it is a field that intrigues me.
I've developed a fair background in technical editing and writing while
working here at Accenture, but I still need some help with the basics.
I've been reviewing job descriptions here and there, and some of the terms
are still vague to me.
For example (and I know this is very basic):
Must be able to interpret technical information and write clear
documentation (does this mean strictly technical manuals and books and
such, or does the term go beyond that definition?)
Experience developing and managing documentation repositories (I have no
idea ...) and web development is a plus (are technical writers also web
designers?).
Again, bear with me. I'm new at the game ... but a quick learn.
Cheers,
George Hook
