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.
Among many others, I'd definitely include "The Global English Style
Guide" by John R. Kohl.
He has lots of good pointers and reminders for any technical writer.
Although much of the idea behind it is for content that will be
translated, it has lots of good pointers for writing content that will
remain in English.
