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.
I'd be interested in taking such a class. <some of Scott's reply snipped>
I would expect a lot of subjects to be covered, but not in great depth, so
that if an area doesn't interest me at all, I won't be bored for a long time.
By covering lots of subjects without going into great depth, I get a feel for
what's out there, and then I can decide to take C++ for Technical
Writers or OOP for Technical Writers, as my needs require.
As for the specific classes, Java for Technical Writers for example, I
would expect to learn the basics, so that I could do simple coding, but also
cover -- but not to any great depth -- some of the more advanced areas
so that I could general understanding of what a programmer has done
without being able to do it myself.
