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 am VERY new to this biz -- about a month ago I got a job at Iprax, a
developer of software and courses for interactive training. My first
mission is to write specifications. Fortunately I don't have to know the
C++ calls, but I am to describe every single interface item and its
function. So far my supervisors are pleased with my work, but they're
not tech writers. So I'm wondering: Am I doing this right?
I was wondering if anyone out there had some general suggestions on
spec-writing that I could use. I've looked for STC publications on the
subject and found none. Any comments or help will be GREATLY
appreciated.
