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.
One of my college professors once told us that 10 years
after graduation it was likely that the most valuable thing
we would have learned from our education was the ability
to figure out what references to look in to research the
answers to our questions. 30 years after graduation I can
say that he was spot on. At this point in my life, almost
skill I use in my work is something I learned on the job,
and virtually every tool I learned to use in school is now
seen only in museums of one sort or another.
