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.
In a book I just finished reading it says that Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The
Canterbury Tales, was a technical writer. Six hundred years ago he wrote
"A Treatise on the Astrolabe," now recognized as a competitive piece of
technical writing. This document is used as an example of technical writing in
scientific journals.
